 | Witnesses say Montsion used a baton on Abdi's legs, arms and head while shouting at him to comply. Cellphone videos shot from inside Abdi's apartment building show Abdi lying on his stomach, handcuffed and bloodied, while constables Montsion and Weir 'guard' him. Winesses said it took about 15 minutes for paramedics to arrive and for CPR to begin. A spokesperson for the family later said doctors told them Abdi had been dead 45 minutes before he arrived at hospital. |
