Video: Ghanaian student in Harvard ‘assaulted’ by police
A Ghanaian Harvard University student, who was reportedly high on
drugs, was repeatedly punched by a police officer after running naked
into the street, in an incident that was captured on video on Friday
night.
The Mayor of a Massachusetts city called the video “disturbing.”
Cambridge Mayor Marc McGovern said in a statement Sunday that the
police department has assured him the altercation on the video is being
investigated. McGovern says “Cambridge affirms that Black Lives Matter,
but it must be true in practice as well.”
Police say officers were called Friday night after receiving reports
of a naked man standing on a traffic island. Police say the man
resisted arrest once on the ground and the officer struck the man to
gain compliance.
The Ghanaian, Selorm Ohene, was arrested on charges including
disorderly conduct and assault. It’s not clear whether Ohene has an
attorney.
He has since been charged with indecent exposure, disorderly
conduct, assault, resisting arrest, and assault and battery on an
ambulance personnel.
