Former Metra cop charged in beating recorded on video

 

 

A former Metra police officer faces charges of aggravated battery after a video he gave to prosecutors showed him beating and punching a man at a Chicago train station.

 

David Robertson, 50, of Matteson, told Metra officials the 45-year-old man he arrested on charges of trespassing started the fight in 2015 at Millennium Station, authorities said.

 

But a surveillance video shows Robertson striking the man in the face unprovoked, spraying pepper spray at him and smacking him with a baton as two other officers joined in, Cook County prosecutors said.

Attorneys for D'Nardo Mack said he was "viciously and unjustifiably attacked" Jan. 15, 2015, at Millennium Station by former officer David Robertson, 50, of Matteson, who has been charged with aggravated battery in the case.
