An Ohio police officer was beaten by a Black man, and he had to be rescued by members of the community, MTO News has learned.
Video of the crazy encounter was uploaded onto Twitter yesterday, and has since gone viral.
In the video, an Ohio police officer grabs a Black man, and starts manhandling him. It’s not clear why – or whether the officer has the authority to grab the man.
The man immediately resists the officer’s attack. He knocks the officer to the ground and begins punching the cop in the face. For a second, it looks like the cop is about to be pounded into unconsciousness.
But then the hood arrives.
Within minutes, the video shows a group of men come to the cop’s rescue. They pulled the Black man off the cop, beat him up, and held him down until other police officers arrived.
