49ers Lineman Anthony Davis Takes Video of Fan Arrest at Edward Jones Dome
While only in town for a brief spell, San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Anthony Davis managed to grab a glimpse of St. Louis police tactics on his way out of the Edward Jones Dome.
Davis, sidelined with a sprained MCL for Monday night's showdown between the 49ers and St. Louis Rams, pulled out his camera phone after the game and began filming an arrest taking place in the stands as his team left the field.
Deadspin's Kevin Draper spotted Davis' video, which shows a young man in a sleeveless Batman shirt being choked out and bent into submission by a cadre of police officers.

The lineman also took a still picture of the arrest, which—among other elements—features an overly excited photobombing.
Davis captioned the photo: "I guess he wasn't happy about us winning tonight. Lmao #49ers."
Twitter user Jeff Tramelli tweeted a picture of the arrest from a different angle, showing one officer employing a rear-naked choke.
It's yet to be confirmed what the young man did to provoke this reaction from the police, but Tramelli tweeted that the fan in question moved down from another section and engaged in a physical confrontation with officials after being asked to leave the area.
What we do know is that the fan can be heard repeatedly screaming, "I just wanted an autograph," as police subdue him. Also, I don't think legs are supposed to bend this way.

Davis took to Twitter after the game and tweeted that law enforcement officials became upset with his recording of their actions and shoved him away from the scene.
"St. Louis Cops are overly aggressive. He started pushing me once he decided I should be finished recording. lol ..

The identity of the young man being arrested has yet to come to light, but given the video taken, it's unlikely we've heard the last of this ugly situation.
