PHOENIX — Editor's Note: This story has been updated to reflect the Phoenix Police statement that the teen girl involved was not recording officers.

Video of a teenage girl being hit by a Phoenix police officer is drawing attention and questions from the community.

Phoenix police said the incident happened Monday near 59th Avenue and McDowell Road while officers were making unrelated arrests of four people who had allegedly stolen a car.

While making their arrests, people in the complex started to gather and film the officers.

Phoenix police said one of the men being arrested punched an officer and grabbed onto an officer’s gun.

Police said a 13-year-old girl went up to some of the officers as they were putting one of the men into the back of the patrol car and said an officer moved her out of the way.

In a statement, a Phoenix police spokesperson said the 13-year-old had been told “multiple times to get back.”

They said the teenager quickly approached two officers who had a man in custody, which is when police say a female officer pulled the teenager back by her arm.

Phoenix police said the teen hit the officer in the face, and claim the officer’s body camera was knocked off as the teen hit her.

The spokesperson said in the statement the officer hit the girl back in the face.

Nancy Ochoa, a neighbor of the teenager, said she saw what happened and saw the girl was filming as officers were making their arrests.

“She went in to try and get a closer view from this way, that’s when the cop grabbed her and started beating on her,” Ochoa said.

Phoenix police said in a statement that the girl was not filming during the incident.

In citizen video, and on edited body camera footage released by Phoenix Police, other voices are heard telling officers that she was a minor.

“The poor girl, she’s traumatized. Her face is swollen, she has cuts all over her eye,” Ochoa said.

Retired Assistant Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson reviewed the citizen footage.

“It’s a good example of how quickly a scene can become chaotic, how difficult the job is for police today,” Anderson said.

Anderson said while officers came to the scene to make arrests, it’s the community they also end up encountering.

Phoenix police said the teenager was booked into the Juvenile Correction Center on one count of assault on a police officer. The department is continuing to investigate.

She should have tried shouting I DO NOT CONSENT, I hear that works really well.

And of course:

Charges should be dropped, related arrest was based on auto theft, no responsibility despite evidence proving otherwise.

Like clockwork.

She doesn't look that hurt in the thumbnail. The most she's gonna get is a fine or community service. Also imagine standing in the middle of the driveway and not getting out of the way of the cop car, jfc.

In that case, that put down was well deserved.

Ya, gonna need a heavy-lift helicopter when it's her turn for a ride. 👍
 
"I was so askurred of them po-leece that I cussed at them and then I went up to a lady cop and starting hitting her and she knocked me upside my head real good."

I hope this goes to trial. The community needs more role models like Rachel Jeantel.
 
I don't understand why they have to provoke officers during an arrest they know NOTHING about. Hell, that guy could've been a murderer and they'd STILL be questioning the arrest.
 
"SHE'S A MINER! SHE'S A MINER!"

Well there aren't any diamonds in these parts, maybe she should've minded her own business
 
Walks right into the face of police as they're saying to stay away. Physically blocks their path. Is screaming "GET OUT MY FACE!" Female officer pulls her out of the way, and woman who was filming all this before it even happened, starts screaming "SHE'S A MINOR!!!" and playing this up as a cop attacking a child (who's the size of 3 of those officers combined). This was obviously opportunists trying to provoke an incident. They clearly thought they could get a BLM mansion too. Cause government housing, and welfare to buy booze and do dey nails ain't nuff reprations n shiet.

These stupid animals should get shot just for being so belligerent and conniving.

Her parents need to put her on a diet. She's morbidly obese. You don't get that way overnight. That's years of fast food and laziness and shoving Happy Meals into your kids hands to shut them up.

If she was white, the media wouldn't give her the time of day or get leniency from the state. She is going to get off scot free slugging a cop and some ass pats where a white kid would be in jail for the same crime.

How does it feel to be 2nd class citizens fellow white people? You are held to stricter legal standards in the US just because of your skin color.

White people voted for this shit.

Bleeding heart woke white liberal christ cucking people whose Bible is the white man's burden and of course greed since keeping all this apes around, is to fuck with middle class and working people who keep voting in cuckservatives.
 
Who gives a fuck what happens to hood-garbage like this?

They're lucky the cops don't just random cruise through their hovels daily to beat the shit out of them out of sheer boredom.
