Cop seen kneeing man several times during arrest
A 19-year-old was charged with resisting arrest and second-degree assault.
Several others were arrested as a result of the incident.
One man, identified by officials as 18-year-old Jahtique Joseph John Lewis of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, can be seen throwing a marked police bike toward a public safety aide, officials said.
Lewis allegedly pushed the aide in the chest before picking up the bike and attempting to strike the aide with it, officials said. After officers took the bike away from Lewis, he allegedly assaulted the aide again and then resisted arrest when officers attempted to arrest him, officials said.
As officials and public safety aides attempted to establish a perimeter to separate the hostile crowd from the arrests, another man in the group, 19-year-old Kamere Anthony Day of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, continued to yell profanities after an officer had placed the bike in front of him, officials said. Day allegedly refused to comply with orders and continued to attempt to approach the officers who were putting Anderson under arrest, officials said.
During the chaos, another man, 19-year-old Khalil Dwayne Warren of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was seen standing on private property that had two \"no trespassing\" signs, officials said. When the officers ordered Warren to leave, he allegedly \"became disorderly\" and then resisted arrest, officials said.
Anderson was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting or interfering with arrest, second-degree assault and failure to provide proof of identity.
Lewis was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering, failure to obey reasonable and lawful order, resisting or interfering with arrest and second-degree assault, officials said.
Day was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering, failure to obey reasonable and lawful order, resisting or interfering with arrest and second-degree assault, officials said.
Warren was charged with trespassing and resisting or interfering with arrest.
Anderson, Lewis, Day and Warren all appeared before a Maryland district court commissioner and were released on their own recognizance.
