LAPD Releases Body-Cam Footage Of Officers Tasing A Man

LINCOLN HEIGHTS (CBSLA) - LAPD released new body-cam footage Friday night showing officers chasing a man with a gun in Lincoln Heights.

The incident took place in January. When officers attempted to talk to Sergio Barretto, he ran from them, fell down, but got up and kept running.

Shots were fired by police, but the suspect was not hit.

Officers were finally able to catch up with Barretto, but he struggled, making it difficult to get him into handcuffs.

When he broke free and tried to run again, officers used a taser to take him down.

Police later found the gun the suspect allegedly tossed during the chase.

Barretto is now facing multiple felony charges.
