Bruce Dyker has been charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, after he was allegedly seen on video grabbing a woman at North Avenue Beach.
Attorneys for Nikkita Brown, the victim in this case, said last year Brown was traumatized by the incident, which they described as an"obvious case of racial profiling."The incident occurred at around 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 28, 2021. In video shared widely on social media, Brown can be seen walking away from the officer, who appears to be attempting to make her leave the area.
The video shows she and the officer exchange words, and after Brown stops walking and looks down at her phone, the officer grabs her arm and attempts to restrain her. Brown can be heard screaming as the officer twists her around.In a statement Monday, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said it could not comment on"pending litigation" but added that it"makes charging decisions and brings cases in front of a grand jury based on the facts, evidence and the law.
