Bodycam shows ICE officer run over a man with his vehicle
An ICE officer accelerates around a corner and strikes a fleeing pedestrian in Houston in body-camera footage published by NBC News. The officer then gets out and approaches Miguel Parra Hernandez, who lies on the pavement crying out in pain.
NBC identifies the incident as taking place on October 10. Its report says a Texas grand jury indicted the officer on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. ICE has denied that the officer intentionally struck Hernandez.
The clip combines surveillance footage with the driver's body-camera recording. Before the collision, the officer radios that people are running on foot. Afterward, he holds Hernandez down as the injured man shouts in Spanish that he was run over.
When another officer arrives and asks what happened, the driver says: "Yeah, like, I was coming in and I hit him with the car." He later asks the other officer to bring a car closer so they can put Hernandez inside.
Hernandez suffered a broken leg and injuries to his hip, leg and ankle, his family says in NBC's report.
