D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee joined FOX 5 for a one-on-one interview to discuss an incident caught on video that’s circulating on social media and that appears to show police in the District involved in a takedown Thursday night while on a call for a shooting in the Southeast is under investigation.
In the video, several officers and at least two subjects can be seen involved in a chaotic incident which happened near Stanton Road and Mississippi Avenue.
At one point in the video an officer appears to push one of the subjects backwards over a metal fence. In the video, that subject and another person appear to both be taken down to the ground by officers. MORE: https://bit.ly/3TJyZ3k
This comes just days after FOX 5 obtained exclusive video that shows what appears to be several juveniles — and possibly some adults — shoving an older woman off a Metrobus in D.C.
Within the clip, the group can be heard berating a woman with red hair for nearly a minute as she stands near the backdoor of the bus. After telling the lady to “get off the bus” multiple times, the video shows the driver comes to a stop, doors open and the juveniles begin to attack the woman. MORE: https://bit.ly/3MXHhT3
