Officer Hit, Then Shot Driver in Baltimore | Annapolis News
Description
Body cam footage captures a shocking Baltimore incident: veteran officer Samuel Thomas, about to have a car towed, is struck by the driver, Tyrik Braxton, who then speeds off—only for Thomas to grab the car and fire three shots, hitting Braxton twice. Braxton, with a prior DUI and police-car collision record, is now charged with attempted murder and in critical condition. Thomas, injured in back and neck, is on administrative leave. Bystanders threw bottles at officers during the chaos, adding to the tension. The case, handled by the State’s Attorney’s Office, underscores Baltimore’s rising police shooting numbers this year—and raises urgent questions about accountability and public safety.
