Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Monday that he has “concerns” about an encounter captured onthat shows deputies detaining at gunpoint Black teens who, according to their lawyer, had been assaulted by a man with a knife.
The lawyer, Robert Brown, said that bystanders called authorities after three teens, at least two of whom are Black, were harassed and assaulted by the man. “After having been attacked with a knife, minutes later, they experienced numerous police officers pointing guns at them,” Brown said in a statement. “So two life-and-death situations in a matter of minutes.”, Villanueva said that investigators are looking into the incident, which occurred Friday near a Buffalo Wild Wings in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles.
“A call for service was received as a felony assault, and the deputies detained those that were allegedly involved,” he said. Villanueva added that he has “concerns about the tactics employed” in a video of the encounter posted on Instagram. The video shows two officers who appear to have their weapons drawn standing outside a cruiser. A third emerges from an SUV with a rifle and points it at the teens, who are eventually taken into custody.Sign Up
