THIS VIDEO IS OWNED BY F0X-29 AND WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DELETED UPON REQUEST! Philadelphia, PA -- A police sergeant was caught on video choking an off-duty prison guard.
The April 1 incident occurred inside Freddy and Tony's restaurant.
Cops had responded to the report of a man with a gun and encountered Joshua Arroyo with his licensed-to-carry firearm.
Arroyo presented his badge, photo ID, and gun-carrying license.
The police took the gun and then asked him to step to the front of the restaurant.
When Arroyo tried to go back to the table, the scuffle broke out.
Arroyo was taken from the restaurant to a hospital complaining of injuries.
He was charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct for using obscene language.
There were no gun charges filed.
"He provided the appropriate permit to carry a weapon.
Showed, identified himself as a corrections officer and then the tape speaks for itself," says Arroyo's lawyer, Fortunato Perri.
