Combative suspect reaches for Cop's gun
This compilation of bodycam and bystander footage from Phoenix, Arizona, shows a traffic stop going badly awry as the suspect gets more and more irate. The situation eventually escalates to a hand-to-hand conflict between the officer and the suspect, who initiates by striking the officer in the head. During the ensuing fight, in which a good Samaritan attempts to break them up, the suspect reaches for the cop's gun. Although all parties survive, viewer discretion remains advised. In a bystander's cell phone recording, we see the officer shoot the suspect in the leg after creating enough distance to do so. Other officers then provided medical aid including a tourniquet to the suspect, and then transported both to an area hospital for their injuries to be treated. The following day, the suspect was booked into jail.
