"A new, longer video shows Lurie standing motionless as guard pushes the man to the ground after he got in the officer's face and appeared to try to move past him. After the man got to his feet and the two begin to tussle, Lurie is seen walking away before appearing to break into a sprint as he disappears behind a building."
"Sources familiar with the incident said the mayor was walking away to fetch another member of the detail for backup. The initial video showed the officer struggling with the suspect, later identified as Tony Phillips, on the ground until help arrived. The officer was left bleeding from the back of his head after the fight."
