Phoenix Police have released bodycam footage and the details leading up to an incident where an officer is seen on camera punching a teen girl. Viewer discretion is advised.
PHOENIXPolice are investigating an incident caught on camera stemming from a stolen car investigation showing an officer punching a girl several times on Jan. 31.
This incident reportedly happened around 4:30 p.m. at an apartment complex near 61st Avenue and McDowell Road when officers were investigating a report of a stolen car being seen with several people inside. On Feb. 1, the teen, Taylor Thomas, and her aunt Charlene Thomas, say she's being wrongly accused of assaulting an officer, and they want the department to be held accountable.
"She told me that I was going to jail for assaulting a police officer," Taylor said. She says she doesn't know who the people involved in the stolen car investigation are at all. Detailing what led up to the video being recorded, police say a caller reported to police that they were following their car that had previously been reported stolen. Officers found the car with several people inside, as previously stated.
