Part 2/7:
According to eyewitness accounts and footage, the man was seen running away from the scene of the alleged act. As agents pursued him, he was eventually taken to the ground, where he appeared to be engaged in a physical struggle with authorities. During the altercation, he lunged toward one of the agents, escalating the confrontation and requiring a forceful response.
Use of Mace and Arrest
Post-incident photos reveal that the federal agents used mace to subdue the man, applying it directly to his face before securing him in custody. His wife, visibly distressed, shouted at the agents, insisting that her husband was a U.S. citizen. Despite her protests, the agents maintained that the man had slashed a tire, which they viewed as a deliberate act of vandalism and law-breaking.
