Two LAPD officers are under investigation after an allegedly intoxicated man was dragged about 15 feet by a police cruiser in Hollywood last month.
An allegedly intoxicated man was dragged by a police cruiser last month in Hollywood after getting into a fight with people on the street, according to video footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department. The man was dragged about 15 feet and landed in the street, the LAPD said Wednesday in a video statement about the incident and the ongoing investigation. The incident began on Sept.
Officers ordered him to walk away from the property. But as the officers returned to their cruiser in a nearby parking lot Thompson appeared by the driver's window and walked beside the vehicle as it backed up and then began to pull out of the parking lot. Thompson continued to pull on the car's rear door handle, according to the LAPD. His body appeared to get caught on the door and he was dragged about 15 feet as the cruiser turned onto the street and pulled away.
