Ferguson city officials released body cam video and surveillance footage from the protests outside the police station marking 10 years since Michael Brown’s death, SpectrumLocalNews reports.
The videos reportedly shows the suspect, 28-year-old Elijah Gantt of East St. Louis, Ill., charge at Officer Brown on a sidewalk outside the police station after protesters attempted to pull down a perimeter fence.
