Man assaults police officer

RAW VISION: A police officer is assaulted while trying to arrest a man who was wandering across Kelvin Grove road on Sunday night: NO SOUND.

Video footage released by Queensland Police showed the man, who appeared to be talking on a mobile phone, walk towards the police car from the middle of the road.

As the 44-year-old senior sergeant  began to speak to the man near Musk Avenue, the man became agitated.

The officer, with a grip on the man's arm, placed the man's wallet and phone on the hood of the police car and attempted to handcuff him.

While doing this, the man lunged at the officer and pushed him to the ground.
