Overview
- A widely shared video shows a female municipal officer striking and kicking a woman already detained in a patrol vehicle in Colonia San Pablo Sur as bystanders urge her to stop.
- The municipal government said the response followed a 911 report allegedly from the detainee’s daughter about a knife attack, condemned the conduct as outside protocol, and ordered a temporary suspension.
- Authorities opened an investigation under institutional procedures that will proceed through the Council of Honor and Justice, with the resolution to be made public.
- Witnesses identified the patrol as RY-4821-A and said the officers left once they realized they were being recorded.
- The incident has revived attention to the 2022 death of Abigail Hay in municipal custody, a case her family says remains unresolved.
