Officials Investigating After U.S. Marshal Rips Phone From Hands Of Recording Bystander
Officials are investigating a shocking video that purports to show a U.S. marshal destroying the phone of a recording bystander.
The video was uploaded to YouTube on April 19 in South Gate, California, within Los Angeles County. In the clip, recorded from a building across the street, a bystander appears to be filming and talking to uniformed officials responding to a report of a biker gang meeting. A man wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a weapon then grabs her phone, slamming it to the ground before kicking it down the street.
The U.S. Marshals Service identified the man as a U.S. marshal, but his name has not been released.
“The U.S. Marshals Service is aware of video footage of an incident that took place Sunday in Los Angeles County involving a Deputy U.S. Marshal," a spokesperson for the Marshals Central District of California office told The Huffington Post in an emailed statement. "The agency is currently reviewing the incident."
