Overview

• The Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division said Wednesday the man remains hospitalized in critical condition after the early Monday encounter in Woodlawn.
• The division plans to delay releasing the names of those involved, including the officer’s rank and experience, because of the victim’s condition.
• A preliminary account says an officer responding around 3:30 a.m. to a welfare check at Security Boulevard and Whitehead Court engaged in a physical encounter after the man exited his car and moved toward the officer.
• Investigators have not detailed the nature or cause of the injuries, and they reported the officer was not hurt.
• Body-camera footage is expected to be released within about 20 days, and the public is asked to share tips or any private video with the IID.
