“He was trying to cause an accident,” Black said. “He threw a punch at me and I slammed him to the ground and held him there.”
Cell phone video, taken from the ninth floor of a high rise at that intersection, shows Black pinning his alleged aggressor down. You can see Black eventually release him.
The shattered rear windshield after the scooter was removed. That’s when the man jumps up, grabs a scooter off the sidewalk and hurls it into the rear windshield of Black’s parked car. He then runs down the street and out of the video frame.”
