JOHANNESBURG - The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) is trying to verify the details of a viral video showing a yet to be identified man pointing a firearm at an officer.
JMPD spokesperson Edna Mamonyane said, "We received an alert this morning notifying us of this video. However, from our side none of our officers have reported this incident. We are communicating with our officers to verify the victim in the video."
She added, "We will take action once we have identified the victim, find out more about when and where this incident took place as well as identify the man in the white shirt (seen pointing the firearm)".
The video shows the man in the white shirt pointing a firearm at a JMPD official as well as the JMPD marked car. He shows aggression and is verbally abusive. The response from the JMPD officer is inaudible.
The clip was posted on Thursday on YouTube and the description for the video claims that the aggressor is a Crime Intelligence Officer. This could not be verified.
