Video shows security officer throwing elderly man to the ground
PHOENIX AZ Feb 26 2018 A video that purportedly shows security officers in a federal building throwing a man onto the ground has sparked a lot of debates Friday.
The video was shared with FOX 10 Phoenix by a woman who did not want her identity to be revealed. She said the man was being asked to leave by security officers when the incident happened.
In the profanity-laced video, security guards were heard telling the man to walk out of the building, before a guard physically removed the man, who was sitting, from the building.
After the security guard and the man were outside the front doors, the man was seen falling onto the ground. The security guard was then heard saying, “he fell, I didn’t touch him”.
According to Phoenix police, officers were called out to the location, but no arrests have been made at this time. Meanwhile, Phoenix Fire officials said a 911 call came in at around 2:00 p.m., and that the man refused to leave and acted “altered”. The man, fire officials said, was later taken to the hospital.
