This is the wild moment a California woman is slammed to the ground by a cop after she launched a racist rant and bit him.
Officers from the San Diego Police Department were called at 6 p.m. March 21 for reports of a woman behaving aggressively toward people.
The unidentified woman made racist comments, according to police, concerning adults and children at the Linda Vista Recreation Center.
The officers found her at the skate park area. Police alleged that she became confrontational and refused to comply with commands.
The start of the video shows a standing police officer’s left hand holding on to the sitting woman’s left hand, almost as if in a tug of war.
The officer suddenly uses his other hand to take the back of her neck and in one fell swoop, launches her into the paved ground.
Witnesses could be seen around the incident with a police car in the background next to the table the woman was sitting at.
Her body then collides with the ground, bouncing up from the impact, as witnesses exclaim in shock. Her sunglasses also fall off.
The cop then turns her over to a chest-down position, gets on top of her, and tries to gain control of her hands.
While the officer is on top trying to restrain her, she begins yelling. It’s unclear what exactly she’s saying, though a few expletives are heard.
At one point, the officer is trying to place handcuffs while she’s on the ground. The video shows her appearing to go for a bite of the officer’s hand, to which the officer yelled, “Stop biting me!”
The video ends with the woman still on the ground, face down, while she makes random screams as the officer tells her to stop.
The officer’s bitten left hand had swelling and an abrasion, authorities said. He was treated later at a local hospital.
The woman was evaluated by paramedics, then booked into jail on multiple charges, including delaying or obstructing officers, resisting an officer with violence and committing a felony while out on bail.
The Post sent an inquiry to the San Diego police, including for updates and for the name of the individual.
Public reaction to the video has been varied. Some have said she deserved the treatment, while others questioned it as use of excessive force.
