WILDWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Police in Wildwood, New Jersey released body cam video showing Saturday’s arrest of a 20-year-old woman on the beach.
Cell phone video went viral showing the woman being punched in the head twice by an officer as he tried to restrain her.
There were a total of three body cam videos released.
The first begins with officers approaching Emily Weinman, of Philadelphia, asking about alcohol. She’s heard telling officers it belongs to her aunt before she’s given a breathalyzer test twice and asked her age and name.
Weinman walks away to call her aunt and comes back again, refusing to provide officers with her name.
Then the situation escalates.
An officer tells her she has one last chance to provide her identification. On the final video, Weinman is shown on the ground resisting officers trying to handcuff her.
Even after they arrest her, she’s seen struggling and yelling at officers before being taken away. The Cape May Prosecutor’s Office is investigating, and the officers involved have been put on administrative duty pending an internal affairs investigation.
