“My back! My back!" the suspect started screaming.
The man’s condition was unclear, but viewers immediately accused the suspect of attempting to fake the injury. WMAR-TV's anchor also noticed that the man went to the ground after seemingly seeing their camera on the scene.
He eventually got back up and was loaded into a police vehicle.
