Full dash-cam video from squad car of Worthington police Sgt. Tim Gaul from the 2016 arrest of Anthony Promvongsa, according to the ACLU of Minnesota, which released the video June 22, 2017, in alleging excessive force by another officer in the arrest.

According to the criminal complaint, Worthington Police Officer Colby Palmersheim was driving his squad car when Promvongsa pulled up behind him "at a high rate of speed. Promvongsa was so close that Palmersheim could not see the hood of Promvongsa's vehicle."

"I had no idea what was going on when I was approached and attacked by this officer,” Promvongsa said in a statement. “I did not even have the opportunity to take off my seatbelt before I was literally blindsided with this unnecessary attack. I immediately pulled over for the Worthington squad car and before I knew what was happening I was beat and ripped from my vehicle."
