Watch his face. He was biting the hell out of us. The man seen here was later identified as 29-year-old William McClish. William approached the officers with a brick in hand, injuring them while live-streaming on Facebook. [music] But, within minutes, he was on the ground, learning who was truly in charge while showing everyone he wasn't as tough as he thought. All right, we're going to put him in the car. All right, we're good. Double lock him. While we got him here. Double lock him. How's my eye look? Mike, we're good. Mike, we're good. We're good, Mike. We're good. Okay. We got him. Are you okay?

Yeah, it's on. I thought I saw someone. No. Yeah, he's got his pants. Put your feet under you. Ready? One, two, three, up. Walk him over to the car. Minutes later, one of the officers approached a witness to understand what had happened that night as he was the man present with the officers at the moment of the attack. I'm the supervisor handling the use of force and all that stuff. If you don't mind, just run me through what happened, what you saw. Okay. >> If you could, please. Thank you.

In a manner to try to continue to kick him. >> Yes, to get away. >> Cool. And so, I reached down and I grabbed his legs. What the man said matched everything later seen on the live stream. William had mercilessly attacked both officers, leaving one of them severely injured. If the officers hadn't reacted in time, the outcome of that night could have been far worse. And the uh partner said, "Hey, you have my leg, too." I said, "Okay." Okay. He sees leg. I'm holding the suspect's legs. Okay. While they take him in custody. Okay. All right? Yes, sir.

No, I got their whole stories. Um after the initial hit and Officer Zambito was still dealing with him, would you say that his actions were still aggressive like he was attempting to hurt the officers continuous?

And I sir, I do appreciate you helping out. That is a huge help, I'm sure. Well, I don't know what I did, but >> It doesn't matter. You helped them out. After taking William to the patrol car, one of the officers tried to speak with him and get any information out of him, but he wasn't willing to talk to law enforcement. What's going on, man? What's your name, sir? Do you have a name? They're taking me to jail, man. I'm sorry? They're taking me to jail. Charge me with you want. Charge me with Okay.
