Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Officers entered the establishment and approached Tyson, who was standing at the bar. A struggle ensued when officers attempted to restrain him. Tyson can be heard calling for help and expressing fear for his safety.
Officers wrestled Tyson to the ground and handcuffed him. One of them is seen placing a knee on his back near his neck for about 30 seconds.
Tyson can be heard repeatedly saying, "I can't breathe. I can't... get off my neck," as an officer yells "Calm down" and "You're fine" before standing up.
The video next shows Tyson lying motionless, face down on the floor for about six minutes, while officers speak with bar patrons.
The officers then check on Tyson, who appears to be unresponsive. They can be heard saying, "Is he breathing?" and "Does he have a pulse?"
After eight minutes in handcuffs, officers removed them and began CPR. Paramedics arrived and transported Tyson from the bar to a local hospital via ambulance, where he died according to WKYC. The cause of death remains under investigation.
