MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating a violent exchange between a police officer and a University of Miami football fan who was removed from Hard Rock Stadium Saturday night.
Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said MDPD received a copy of the video and the investigation of the incident in Miami Gardens was ongoing Sunday morning.
The 14-second video shared late Saturday night on Bartstool UMiami’s social media accounts shows three male police officers and a female police officer pick up a woman who was wearing a UM T-shirt.
The woman’s first attempt to hit the officer, who was holding her right leg, failed. She was able to slap him in the face during her second attempt, and the officer struck back with his right arm, as he was using his left to hold her leg.
The woman, who was at the stadium to watch Miami’s victory over Virginia Tech, appeared to have been knocked out following the officer’s punch.
When four Miami-Dade Police Department officers surrounded Briget Freitas during the Miami-Virginia Tech game Saturday night, Eric Argueta pulled out his iPhone X and started to record.
Argueta, 27, captured a violent exchange between the Canes fan and an officer, but he doesn’t think his viral video tells the whole story. Before a police officer got involved, Argueta said he saw Freitas “swinging at another lady.”
She was “making a scandal” before the end of the game’s first quarter at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, he said, and everyone between sections 129 and 130 was staring.
Freitas was arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct/breach of peace. The arrest report identified the officer as Detective Douglas Ross and said his strike was meant “to gain compliance and control.”
