The attack at 5:30am on Sunday morning outside nightclub in the East London suburb left Tiyo with a cut beneath an eye and a gash on the back of his head. All the pandemonium was caught on cellphone and shows the burly officer lashing out at Tiyo with a baton and head-butting him to the ground. Tiyo on Monday claimed the attack was unprovoked and he said he had merely been filming the arrest of another resident by city Law Enforcement officers when he became a target, target.
