In the video, four Miami-Dade officers, three men and one woman, attempt to remove a female fan who appears to be lolling in a barely conscious state. She was in a stairway between rows, hanging onto a friend’s shirt with her right hand. As the officers hoist her above them and begin moving up the stairs, she swings at the officer holding her right leg — a forehand that grazed the back of his head and a backhand swing that caught him on the left side of his face. source
The officer responded with a right hook flush to her face.
A spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department said Sunday that details of the incident are being gathered.
