A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.

Cops have authority anywhere in the state, which is why they can be brought in from surrounding areas for special events, riots and other incidents, and can arrest you off-duty if they witness something illegal.
They literally don't have de-facto jurisdiction over an entire state. This is easily googlable. Additionally, I addressed doing citizen's arrest already, which is what them doing an "off duty" arrest is.
