Jonathan Baker was forced off the road by a Tshwane metro police vehicle and a Tshwane metro police motorcycle, said the bystander.
“Jonathan refused to get out of his vehicle and he was manhandled by officers who surrounded his vehicle. I heard him tell the officers that they broke his key when they tried to remove it from the ignition.”
The eyewitness said Baker remained calm and respectful towards the officers throughout the episode.
He was slapped around before being put into a police van.
