Quakertown parents want answers as Bucks DA investigates police confrontation
Both witnesses provided videos to WHYY News that they took from inside the restaurant that show a man in a light-brown jacket on the street struggling with a group of people who appear to be students.
“Oh my god, it’s a grown man and a kid,” someone in the restaurant can be heard saying. “Where are the police?”
The man then places a person, who appears to be a female student, in a chokehold.
A person wearing a vest with the word “police” on the back is seen running toward the frame and then out of the frame as the man in the brown jacket continues to hold the person in a chokehold. Other people who appear to be students are then seen hitting the man, who falls to the ground with the girl.
“He’s on a child,” someone can be heard saying in the video. “Why is no one stopping him?”
Videos show the man in the brown jacket speaking with police officers and then driving away from the scene in an unmarked white vehicle with flashing lights. Videos also show bloodied signs scattered on the ground.
The witness told WHYY News that what she saw was “extremely jarring.”
“These men were twice the size of these children,” she said. “It seems like the police made absolutely no effort to de-escalate the situation.”
Outside the police station Saturday morning, speakers said students who were arrested Friday were still in police custody at that time.
A woman who identified herself as Allison at the press conference, but withheld her last name, said her stepdaughter “was wrongfully accused,” and was then assaulted, thrown to the ground and put in a chokehold.
“We just want her home safe,” she said. “We want respect for our daughter and for the other students … who were there.”
WHYY News is working to confirm whether Allison’s stepdaughter is still detained.
