A 17-year-old girl that was videotaped being punched in the face by a police officer has issued an apology for her actions.
As previously reported the Seattle teen was shown “placing her hand” on Officer Ian Walsh’s arm while he tried to detain her friend for jay walking.
When the girl touched the officer, he is seen on camera rearing back and punching her in the face before continuing to try and subdue the first woman.
The 17-year-old was charged as a juvenile with third-degree assault, punishable by a maximum 30 days in detention.
Officer Walsh accepted the girl’s apology and is reportedly being investigated by the department’s Office of Professional Accountability for his actions.
