WOODLAWN, Maryland (WBAL) — The Maryland Office of the Attorney General released police body-worn camera video of an incident that left 56-year-old Samuel Brown dead.
The office’s Independent Investigations Division identified the officer as Derek Hadel, who has been with the department for nine years.
The video shows Brown being punched by a Baltimore County police officer before falling toward the ground.
Brown ended up with a broken jaw and nose, along with brain damage, according to the family. He died on Friday.
Based on information from a police incident report reviewed by WBAL-TV 11 News, an officer responded around 3:30 a.m. to a call about someone asleep behind the wheel at Security Boulevard and Whitehead Road. The report states Brown got out of his vehicle and became confrontational, disregarding commands to get back.
Hadel is under investigation for use of force, according to the OAG.
