At least seven Philadelphia police officers forcibly removed a man off of a city bus on Friday. People who were there say the man was removed for not wearing a mask.
The incident was caught on camera and the video was shared on Twitter by the Philly Transit Riders Union, an organization that advocates for public transit users. The organization is asking for the incident to be investigated.
While viewers aren’t able to see the events that led up to the officers’ arrival, the footage shows the man, who was not wearing a face mask, being dragged off the bus by several uniformed officers with police yanking at his limbs as he seems to resist being removed. He then tells them he wants their badge numbers.
According to the group, the man was pulled off the bus because he wasn’t wearing a face mask.
