TMZ Sports has now obtained even more footage of Malik McDowell and what led up to him being arrested earlier this week.
The Cleveland Browns defensive tackle was arrested in Deerfield Beach, Florida after police say he walked naked into a children’s learning center and violently attacked a deputy. We now have footage of that attack as a fully naked McDowell could be seen charging at the cop as he stumbles back into a bush behind him.
The video:
McDowell was so out of control that they had to use a taser on him before placing him in handcuffs. He was then taken to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation before he was ultimately booked into jail on three charges.
McDowell is being charged with aggravated battery of an officer, resisting arrest, and exposing his sexual organs in public.
