Controversial Video Shows Homeless Man with Bag Over Head, Surrounded by Police in DC
Washington D.C. – A video circulating online has sparked public outcry and raised questions regarding the treatment of homeless individuals by authorities in the nation's capital. The footage, uploaded on August 12, 2025, shows a homeless man seated in a wheelchair with a white bag placed over his head, surrounded by multiple police officers and an EMT. The incident appears to have occurred on a city sidewalk, with a "Pret A Manger" store visible in the background. The video does not provide context for why the bag was placed over the man's head or the specific circumstances leading to the intervention by law enforcement and emergency medical personnel. Online comments reflect widespread concern and criticism, with many viewers expressing shock and demanding accountability. One commenter stated, "What the actual hell am I looking at," while another questioned, "why is there a bag over his head?!?" Concerns were also raised about the number of officers present for a person in a wheelchair. Authorities have yet to release a statement regarding the incident. The video continues to fuel discussions on social media about homelessness, mental health support, and police conduct in urban areas.
