Newly obtained video by CBS News shows the brutal beating of D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone during January's Capitol riot.
"All holy hell broke loose. The next thing you know, we were just in a hand-to-hand battle," Fanone told CBS News' Kris Van Cleave. His body camera captured the moment as he was pulled into the crowd of rioters and attacked. "I was tortured. I was beaten. I was, you know, struck with a taser numerous times at the base of my skull. And I posed no threat," Fanone said. He was forced to the ground, suffered a heart attack and a brain injury. Fearing for his life, he called out, "I have kids."More Related News
