Body cam footage shows police officers dragging disabled man from a car by his hair
ABC News
Clifford Owensby, the 39-year-old disabled man, has filed a complain with NAACP's Dayton chapter.
Police in Dayton, Ohio, have released body camera footage that appears to show police officers dragging a partially paralyzed man out of his car by his hair.
When officers repeatedly ask Owensby to exit the vehicle during a Sept. 30 traffic stop, Clifford Owensby, 39, can be heard telling them that he is paraplegic and could not do so.
He says he does not want to be touched and calls someone to come to the scene and witness what is going on.
Owensby is then dragged out of the car by the officers, who appeared to use his hair to pull him out, the video shows. He's handcuffed on the ground and continuously held by his hair as he yells for help, according to the video. Police are seen hauling him into a police cruiser.
