Oklahoma cop breaks man’s face and charges him with assault for no apparent reason [View all]

An Oklahoma man suffered a broken nose and other injuries — but was charged with assault — when a police officer punched him during an arrest.

Chris Barger said he dropped off a friend at an apartment complex Sept. 7 in Purcell when a police officer approached and shined a flashlight into his car, reported KFOR-TV.





“He begins to shine his light in my car window repeatedly, and after a while, I decided maybe I should get out of the vehicle and ask the officer what the problem is,” Barger said.

Barger got out of the car with one hand in his pocket, and a witness said the officer charged him and began punching.
