Viral footage from an incident in South Africa surfaced today, showing the moments an armed man began assaulting a South African Police Officer (SAPO) , attempting to overpower and disarm the officer.
The footage, reportedly took place on Saturday, November 13th, 2021 at the Misty Hills Country Hotel, in Muldersdrift, Gauteng. Officers responded to the hotel, after receiving an operator call, that the man appearing in the footage had allegedly fought a member of the hotel staff. During the confrontation, the man appears irate that the police have confronted him of his alleged wrongdoings.
To pile onto his anger, the man exits the field of view for a brief moment, only to reappear with a handgun. Brandishing it toward the officers, the man racked it, presumably chambering a round, and threatened the officers lives. Ultimately, the man stowed away his weapon, and reappears yet again. As his apparent rage continues, the man eventually grabs ahold of one officer, rips the gun from their possession and commands the officer, "shoot me".
As he repeats himself multiple times, a secondary officer fired a single shot, striking the man in the head. After the shooting occurred, the man was escorted to an area hospital under police custody. Sources indicate the man is alive, but is in critical condition.
