A police officer was injured during an illegal street takeover event held in Fairfax County, Virgnia and now consequences are coming. While four people were slapped with charges over the incident, the county police chief vows to snuff out street takeover events once and for all.
Man brutally attacked during street takeover event.
The chaotic takeover event held in Springfield, Virginia in the early morning hours of March 31. Dashcam footage from the first officer on the scene shows the takeover staged in an industrial area. Many of the participants who advanced on her squad car had their faces and heads covered.
When the crowd surrounded the first responding officer’s vehicle, some of them reportedly tried opening her doors. Thankfully she kept them locked, but we’ve seen this kind of behavior towards cops arriving at street takeovers before.
As a second police car shows up on the scene, the crowd becomes more agitated and aggressive. Some of them slap their hands on the cruiser’s hood, almost like they’re daring the officer to run them over.
