Bodycam: West Haven Officer Punches Man 18 Times — Now Arrested

 West Haven police bodycam footage shows a West Haven police officer punching a man 18 times during an arrest. This video is a full bodycam breakdown of the West Haven officer who allegedly punched the suspect 18 times, and we’re focusing on the real legal question: was the force objectively reasonable under settled use-of-force standards, or did it cross the line into excessive force / police brutality / assault?

In this West Haven CT (Connecticut) police incident, the body camera captures the moment the officer delivers repeated punches (18 strikes) while attempting to gain compliance. We break down the timeline, the suspect’s actions, the officer’s escalation, and what courts look at when deciding whether repeated strikes are justified.
