Tukwila police released body camera video Friday showing how a civilian interfered with an investigation and made the situation more dangerous for officers. On Jan. 28, officers responded to reports of a man threatening people with a knife along Tukwila International Blvd. Officers repeatedly told the man to get on the ground, but he did not comply. As they were working to de-escalate the situation, a passing driver stopped his car in the middle of the road, got out and started recording the scene with his smartphone, police said. The driver ignored officers' commands to stay back and instead walked right up to the suspect. Officers pulled that man to the ground for his own safety, police said. But he then began kicking the officer and hitting the officer with his cell phone. Police ended up arresting both of the men. The so-called good samaritan is facing charges for obstructing a public servant and assaulting an officer. The man with the knife is also facing charges for brandishing a weapon and obstructing a public servant, police said.
