Video Shows Cop Punching Woman in the Face Outside N.J. Nightclub

Mar. 7, 2013 9:46am Billy Hallowell

A cell phone video seemingly showing a New Jersey cop punching a woman in the face outside of a New Jersey nightclub has led to a police investigation. The shocking footage, which was uploaded to YouTube on March 3, shows an intense scuffle between the officer and a group of men and women.

The incident apparently unfolded outside of Club Envy in Elizabeth, N.J. It was captured on a bystander’s phone and subsequently uploaded to the video-sharing site. Since it went viral and was picked up by numerous media outlets, the video appears to have been taken down.

Local outlets, though, captured and aired it beforehand. WPIX-TV has a news report that shows portions of the original 20-second clip:

WNBC-TV reports that the officer is still on active duty, but that authorities are investigating to learn more about the circumstances at hand. Additional details have not been released.

Here’s the full video, with some slow-motion portions that seem to show the full force of the punch:

NJ.com has more about the scenario surrounding the controversial interaction:

In the clip, which has gained more than 11,000 views since it was posted on March 3, the officer is seen attempting to break up a fracas outside of Envy Night Club on North Broad Street. After walking away from a crowd of roughly 10 to 12 people, the officer grabs hold of a man in a black vest and shoves him to the ground. Once the man falls, a woman wearing a red dress appears to grab the officer’s arm, and he responds by punching her.

A man who identified himself as the club’s owner said he didn’t know if the participants in the brawl were at the club over the weekend.

Law enforcement experts caution that those enraged by what they see on the clip should wait for the full story to emerge and for the investigation to conclude before making definitive determinations.

Many times, videos don’t show the full picture during difficult moments and crisis situations, including threats an officer may be facing. While it’s possible the cop used excessive force, we’ll have to wait for more details to come to a decisive conclusion on the matter.

  Why is it that women more and more keep begging to be treated like man?
  They’re defiant, arrogant, instigate, and do not understand their physical limitations.
  Maybe it’s Hollywood and their portrayal of women as superheroes fighting men twice their size and weight and winning the fights?
  If they act like men and want to treated as such thety get exactly what they deserve.
  Either you’re a lady and act like one or your skank who thinks you’re stronger than a man.

  She did not lunge at the officer. He is a dirty POS and should be fired. An officer is a citizen, not a royal emissary. He is obviously out of control and used way more force than required. I hope some locals catch up with him and treat him accordingly.

  If you are dumb enough to grab a Policeman’s arm during a scuffle, then you deserve the consequences. It is called natural selection. If she is dumb enough to do it again, then I imagine she won’t be around very long.

  wow!!!! Sure she put her hand on him, but did it warrant a knockout punch? You know what, the police force is full of people. Individuals to be precise, and just because you wear a badge does not mean you are a righteous person. That badge puts you in a position of power, and what kind of person is attracted to power? Hint, they are not all good seeds. And don’t give me that crap about who do you call when something goes wrong, when the police rarely ever stop crime from happening, they just show up after it has already taken place or still in the process, Rarely stopped. There are good people in the force, but sadly I believe there is more corruption than not.

  When a Cop is ‘taking someone down’ and some else interfers, the interferer is lucky not to get shot much less punched and arrested too. Maybe it taught that woman a thing or two about how she’s not able to do just whatever she wants because she’s an individual with independant feelings and thoughts…at least that’s what they taught her in school.

  It’s never a good idea to put your hands on a police officer, but the action seemed to be a bit unnecessary. It is best that the incident is investigated for all involved, since the video was only a small portion of what occured, considering location it is a safe bet alcohol was involved (which can escalate a situation), and the number of bystanders. There are outstanding police officers and there are cops that have no business holding a position of authority, it is best to ensure this individual falls into the first category.

No matter that she obviously interfered in a police action, there may be an attorney who will take her “case,” no matter how big she is it will be hyped that she is a female and boohoo, and there may be a settlement and taxes go up as the police departments insurance goes up and a police officer may lose his job and or reputation or both.

The women in the video are not following his instructions and keep swarming around him. He has no idea how nutty these people are or what they’re capable of doing. He was defending himself as much as trying to control the situation.

The woman did the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time to the wrong person. Rule number one, don’t interfere with a cop when he’s doing his job. And yes, there are a lot of power hungry, a-hole cops out there but that doesn’t change the situation, even if your right and the cop is acting inappropriately your going to lose the battle.

  Defending himself? This is sickening. The woman was standing next to the guy. The cop came and threw him to the floor. She was shocked and when she tried to help him, he got a punch to the face.
  
  It’s remarkable how we go on this site from praising a senator for standing up to the government when they overstep their bounds then we see some PIG punching a citizen, a woman, and we say he was defending himself.

In this case, it’s duck & cover so you aren’t mistaken for a combatant. The only reason I can see that she should be putting herself in between an officer and his duty is if her children are in danger. In this case, I see no children at all….

  From just what the video shows the officer is the aggressor. It started when he grabbed the guy and tried to leg trip him. The guy looks like he was in a fight with another person and it got broken up. Why did the cop not just ask the guy to turn around and put his hands behind his back. If a cop walks up to me and attacks me without asking me to surrender he is going to get his teeth knocked out. Certainly if he assualts my wife. Cops don’t have a right to assualt you, and if he is not asking you to surrender he shouldn’t be trying to slam you on the ground.

  @zorro….yep, you got it right. IF they moved away from the fight no one would be needing to duck and cover from the officers. If my brother or husband insisted on staying in the fight, count me out, not interested in getting caught in the middle and taking a beat down. But, just so you can rest easy, this won’t happen to us, my family, because we have better stuff to do than run around bars and riots, like milk the cows and play monopoly with the grandkids. Much more fun than smoke filled bars with a bunch of drunk fools.

Looks to me like the officer was defending himself. People in this country have gotten the idea that it is ok to not listen to and resist officers instructions. The time to argue is NOT in the heat of the moment of a high stress situation. If you feel like you are being treated unfairly by an officer you fight it in court not in the moment. that is how innocent people get hurt.

It almost looks like she was about to give the guy a hug, and when the officer shoved him down it pulled her toward the officer and then he hit her. I’m not so sure she intentionally grabbed his arm, but even if she did, its excessive force. Even though the girls mouth probably deserved it.

I’ll never second guess an officer thats put in that situation. While in the service once I was trying to detain a guy till the interpreter got there and several men started gathering around to close for our comfort till I pushed one, I then felt a tug on my gear and realized someone had grabed my m9 and the retention cord had pulled it out of his hand..Needless to say it went crazy from there.

  That being said, you are quite right. I wouldn’t second guess him either since it looked to me that he was about to be surrounded. Another thing is that we have no idea what was being said and have no idea whether or not she and others were threatening him. If he is wrong, then he is wrong.

  ZORRO, As I mentioned in another post on this story, I do not know everything that was happening. I do not know whether the cop was right or wrong in this situation. These narrow cell phone videos tell even less of a story at times. I can say with conviction though that a cop in the performance of his duties with what must be somebody who is starting to resist arrest. The gathering crowd makes it a very unsafe position for the officer. Again as well, we do not have any volume and do not know if the woman or others vocally threatened the officer, but once she put her hands on him in an effort to prevent him from performing his duty, he put a quick end to it. Should the eminent investigation reveal that he was wrong, then he should be held accountable, and likely charged with assault. If she is found to be wrong, then she should be charged. The position that the officer was in is a form of combat.

Honestly, as a former bouncer,I have no problem with it.

It was already a tense situation (brawl), he grabbed a guy (suspect?participant?) and clearly says “get down” and the woman grabs him. He (officer) has to control the situation lest he become the next victim. When you are there you don’t stop and think “this is a woman, is she a threat” you just have to react to someone grabbing you in a tense situation.

  He told the guy to “get down” as he was dragging him down. It seems to me the situation was mellowing and he made it worse by dragging the guy to the ground and punching what appears to be a defenseless citizen. I’m confused by the comments on here. I really am.

  I think your comment makes sense he gave an order and appeared to be putting an aggressor on the ground probable to cuff him when a woman grabs him. You see women in America want all the rights of men OH except, What she took on a mans roll and and got a mans response.

Ever deal with an insane, emotionally driven drunk woman? You might wanna punch her in the face, too.

  So, TheBlaze has confirmed that it was a woman?
  They must have because it is implied in the headline.
  It could have been a man in drag, couldn’t it?
  In fact I’ll bet it was, but, even if not,
  the cop was within his rights to defend himself.
  You don’t EVER lay your hands on a cop.

Except the guy was just standing there and the cop sucker punched him. The only reason the gilr reacted was because the cop sucker punched and threw him on the ground. He then punched the girl. From the cops I have met I would say 80% are jerks, power hungry and corrupt. I do not trust the police at all.

Dont put your hands on a cop,i would have laid her out as well.For you women out there who think you are a mans equal in a situation like this,and you want to step in and fight,take your lumps, then sit down and stfu.Putting her hands on that officer was assault,he didnt just punch her for no reason.

  By her placing her hands on the cop, it is interpretted as obstructing a police officer. He is then within his rights as an officer to take her down. With a crowd of people around him and everyone yelling and screaming and talking, he was within his rights to punch her in the face.

The officer was putting a perp on the ground, and the woman made a grab for the officer – he did what needed to be done, to keep the confrontation one-on-one. for his own safety.

Jes’ my opinin…

  Two or more on one isn’t a good situation for a cop ,the real threat was the larger male coming off the ground . He neutralized the female and sent a message to the crowd to back off at the same time ,now he can deal with the male . Remember we didn’t see what transpired before the video ,it must have been serious enough for the cop to want to subdue the male.

  He unnecessarily punched him first.
  All on tape and NOT part of official procedure.
