An unarmed
man was shot in the head and critically wounded by Los Angeles police officers
on Friday night, after he appeared to be flagging them down for assistance.
A passerby
recorded graphic video of the incident from a car, and then posted it on
Twitter. The video showed officers turning over the man, who appeared to be
unconscious and lying on his face, and handcuffing his hands behind his back as
his head bled profusely.
The Los
Angeles police department said the man, who was not immediately named, had a
towel wrapped around his hand and the two officers believed he was concealing a
weapon.
The man
reportedly waved over the officers in their patrol car in the quiet Los Feliz
area of LA, north-east of Hollywood, at about 6.30pm. The officers got out of
their vehicle and one ordered the man to “drop the gun”, LAPD lieutenant John
Jenal told local television news on Friday night.
