A mob of gleeful onlookers laughed at and mocked a cop lying unconscious on the ground after he was hurled from a speeding car while trying to arrest a woman in Texas early Friday, disturbing video shows.
The video from Beaumont first shows a woman running across a parking lot and hopping into an open convertible, chased by a police officer.
When the officer tries to leap into the car’s back seat to stop her, the woman hits the gas, sending the cop flying head-first into the pavement.
As the officer — who suffered a serious head injury, authorities said — lay unconscious on the ground, a throng of young bystanders laughed and cheered.
“Yo, yo! Police! Step on my man!” a person jeered as the convertible sped out of the parking lot.
Police later arrested the car’s suspected driver, 28-year-old Jamaysha Butler, who faces charges of intoxication assault and evading detention, both resulting in serious bodily injury to a peace officer, the Beaumont Police Department said in a Facebook post.
