This surveillance footage shows a transit police officer in Philadelphia being attacked.
An unidentified man was removed from a train after threatening to shoot passengers.
Because of the passenger's strange behaviour, transit police officer Ronald Jones confronted
him, but he then pushed Jones to the ground throwing punches and kicks.
The attacker was eventually restrained on the ground with help from some passers by.
According to witnesses the suspect managed to get away from police and returned to the
train trying to grab a child but was unable to do so.
More officers were then called to the scene and the subject was taken into custody.
Officer Jones was unhurt by the confrontation.
