Officer-worn body camera video shows a tough takedown of a man who, police said, went wild at a Miami Beach drugstore until a good Samaritans put a stop to his unruly and bizarre behavior.
Miami Beach Police officers were not messing around when they apprehended Roy Forty-Vega outside the CVS pharmacy on 20th Street and Collins Avenue, June 13.
“Hey, hey, get on the [expletive] ground!” an officer is heard saying.
“Put your hands behind your back, now!” said another officer.
The arrest went down after, police said, the suspect went berserk and pointed a toy gun at customers unlucky enough to cross his path — customers who were shocked and startled until Seth Lowery stepped in.
“I don’t know if it’s a real gun. There he is, right there,” Lowery is heard saying to a responding officer.
