Karson Hyder, 22, is accused of grabbing Cherrie Moore, the woman in the video, by the arm, pushing her to the ground and hitting her in the face with his fist, an arrest warrant said.<\/p>\n

Moore retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, a press release from his law firm said Monday. Crump said Moore was having a mental health crisis at the time of the incident and called for help.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo person in crisis should ever be subjected to this kind of treatment, especially by those sworn to protect and serve,\u201d the attorney said in a statement. \u201cThe footage of this encounter is deeply disturbing and raises serious questions that demand answers and accountability. We intend to fight for justice for Cherrie and her family every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crump will be in Shelby Tuesday morning at the City of God Worship Center on Charles Road for a news conference.<\/p>\n

Moore suffered a possible broken nose and busted lip, the warrant said. Hyder was fired on Saturday<\/a> after the video went viral on Friday.<\/p>\n

Shelby Police Chief Brad Fraser said Hyder\u2019s actions were \u201cdisturbing and inappropriate,\u201d at a news conference Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cA second officer can be seen intervening to stop those actions,\u201d Fraser said.<\/p>\n

In the video, Hyder appeared to pull Moore to the ground and punched her several times before another officer pulled her away and placed her in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

The assault took place just after 8 a.m. on Friday near Booker Street, where Moore was accused of trying to break into a home. She was charged with breaking and entering, resisting an officer, and assaulting a government employee.<\/p>\n

An arrest warrant said Moore assaulted Hyder by grabbing and ripping his uniform. She was released from jail on Friday after posting a $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n

The SBI said Hyder turned himself in to the Cleveland County Detention Center and was released after posting a $10,000 secured bond.<\/p>\n
