Drivers Stop To Help Florida Trooper Sucker Punched By Suspect

Dashcam video shows a man being questioned by police on Interstate 4 near Tampa when he sucker punches the officer.

Fortunately the man doesn’t have much a of punch as the officer barely steps back.

They are off camera for a bit, but are seeing back in camera with the officer wrestling the suspect to the ground.

That’s when at least two bystanders pull over, including a trucker, to help the trooper subdue the suspect.

The suspect was later identified as Alexander Hernandez Delgado.

WTSP-TV reports:

"The subject attempted to run north towards the center median guardrail and I attempted to place the subject in custody and the subject proceeds to resist with violence throwing several punches and striking me again," Trooper Ruiz recalled in the report.
Video then showed Ruiz tackle Delgado near the median. But, authorities say Delgado kept fighting.
The dash camera recorded screams and showed a truck pull over to help. Other motorists stopped, too, rushing to assist the trooper with subduing Delgado.
Delgado was ultimately arrested. Both he and Ruiz were checked out by paramedics. Delgado had a "minor cut on his chin," FHP said. 
From there, Delgado was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail. He is charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence."
