An alleged act of shocking police brutality at the street party in Philadelphia. As revellers celebrate the city’s Puerto Rican Day Parade, someone throws what seems to be water into the air, wetting several police officers.
They turn, and as they do so, so does 39-year-old Aida Guzman. As she walks away, one officer, apparently believing her to be responsible, swings a punch at her face, knocking her to the ground.
Aida is hauled off in handcuffs and charged with disorderly conduct.
The video of the incident has since gone viral and has been picked up by the Philadelphia police department. They say they are investigating the officer in the film, a Luitenant with 19 years service, who has previously been commended for bravery. He’s currently been put on desk duty.
Guzman has reportedly not yet decided whether to press charges after suffering a split lip and grazed knuckles.
Interesting words: alleged (not proved yet), reveller (somebody who is celebrating), swing (throw), haul off (take to prison), disorderly conduct (bad behaviour in public), commend (praise), graze (break the surface of your skin), knuckle (joint in your finger).
