The chief executive of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Steven Kolb, has resigned from his role, days after he was filmed physically restraining two animal rights activists during an altercation at New York fashion week.
In the video, which NBC News viewed, Steven Kolb grabbed the person from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals who was protesting the use of wool by fashion designer COS at its runway show.
Footage from the dramatic encounter also shows Kolb grabbing another protester, covering her mouth and pulling her to the ground as he restrained her by her wrists and pinned her down with his leg.
PETA issued a statement after Kolb's announcement Friday, saying the group still planned to meet with him and 'hopefully others in the industry will meet and take meaningful steps to stop this epidemic of cruelty to animals.'
