Additional footage from Tyreek Hill’s detainment on Sunday morning shows one of the police officers involved threatening to break the Miami Dolphins star’s window.
Hill made headlines ahead of Miami’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the day when he was stopped for a traffic violation before being removed from his vehicle, forced to the ground, and handcuffed.
He was subsequently released and went on to play in the Fins’ 20-17 win, registering seven catches for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown.
NBC6 posted a video tonight showing the moment an officer knocked on his window and asked him to get out of the car. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear another officer approaching him and threatening to break the window.
