The incident took place during a clash between Columbus police officers and a crowd of people protesting police brutality. According to multiple purported witnesses, the double amputee was peacefully protesting when officers possibly struck him and deployed pepper spray against him. The amputee's prosthetic legs are seen resting on the sidewalk a short distance away from him. Other people in the crowd reportedly confronted the officers and demanded they return the prosthetics, but the cops allegedly refused. Then several protesters allegedly rushed the officers, getting pepper-sprayed in the process, and wrestled the legs back from them.
