Dash Cam Video Shows Attack on Officer

WHICH ONE WILL COST YOU MORE. A VICIOUS ATTACK ON THE BROOKLYN PARK POLICE OFFICER IS NOW PUBLIC. A DESPERATE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE AS THE MAN GRABS FOR THE OFFICER'S GUN. HERE IS A PART OF THAT NINE- MINUTE VIDEO CAPTURING THE OFFICER SCREAMING FOR HELP AS 25-YEAR-OLD LANCE CARVIAN PUNCHED, CHOKED, AND WRESTLED THE OFFICER. JURORS WATCHED THIS COMPELLING VIDEO AND CONVICTED FELONY ASSAULT OF A POLICE OFFICER. BILL HUTCHINS JUST BACK FROM BROOKLYN PARK WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SAY IT IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT AND NEED THE PUBLIC TO SEE AND IT'S SCARY, BILL. I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IT IS VERY DISTURBING. IT IS TREATED AS A MIDNIGHT POLICE STOP FOR A REPORT OF THE VEHICLE PLAYING LOUD MUSIC. BUT WHAT THE OFFICER SONE ENCOUNTERED WAS A TERRIFYING -- SOON ENCOUNTERED WAS A TERRIFYING FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE. Reporter: THEY STOPPED THIS WHITE CAR ON THE NOISE COMPLAINT. HE LEARNS THAT THE DRIVER HE WANTED WAS ON A FELONY THEFT WARRANT. HE WAS ASKED TO PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK. Reporter: TROUBLE BEGINS. LANCE CARR TURNS AND PUNCHES HYMAN. THEY STRUGGLE AND FALL TO THE GROUND. AT THAT POINT HE MAULS FOR THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE. Reporter: TONIGHT THEY RELEASED A NINE-MINUTE VIDEO TO SHOW THE PUBLIC WHY MOST STOPS ARE ROUTINE. HYMANS WORKING ALONE SCREAMING FOR HELP. ITS NEIGHBOR CALLED FOR POLICE BACKUP. YOU'LL HEAR THEM SCREAMING TO GET OFF. IF THE OFFICER DID NOT DO WHAT HE HAD DONE IT WOULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. Reporter: HE FIRES HIS GUN MISSING CARR. THERE'S ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEAPON, EJECTING THE CLIP RENDERING IT UNABLE TO FIRE. FINALLY THREE MINUTES AFTER THE STRUGGLE BEGAN, SIRENS CAN BE HEARD BACKUP ARRIVES. EVEN THEN LANCE CARR DOESN'T STOP THE ASSAULT. HE TOOK A TASER SHOT AND THREE OTHER COPS TO DO THAT. IT COULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. AND THAT THE CITIZENS HAD NOT INTERVENED AS THEY CHOSE TO INTERVENE THAT NIGHT. NOW WE CAN TELL YOU THAT THE OFFICER WAS OFF THE JOB FOR 16 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. HE'S NOW BACK ON PATROL. HE IS SAID TO BE DOING WELL. SENTENCING FOR CARR WILL BE JUNE 7. HE COULD DO 10 TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THE VIOLENT ATTACK. THANK GOD IT TURNED OUT THE WAY
