LA PUENTE, Calif. — As immigration operations persist throughout Southern California and other regions in the nation, a viewer shared footage with ABC7 Eyewitness News, a Los Angeles-based sister station, depicting a man bleeding during what looked like a raid in La Puente.

On Thursday, the vicinity of Maplegrove Street and Griffith Avenue in Los Angeles County was inundated with federal agents. The video at one point shows an agent forcefully pressing a man’s head onto the ground.

Witnesses like Issac Torres captured cellphone video of the raid on Thursday.

“Yo, what the f— are you doing breaking his window, dog?” Torres yelled at an agent in one of the videos. “You can’t break his window.”

Torres was on his way to visit his grandparents when he spotted the federal agents in his neighborhood and started recording.

The footage captured also reveals an agent breaking the rear window of a white pickup truck, shortly followed by the driver being pinned to the ground.

“Yo, hey, he’s bleeding! He’s f—— bleeding from his head, look!” Torres exclaimed.

Several agents can be seen surrounding the man who was being detained. One of them was pressing his head into the ground.

“He wasn’t resisting at all, like they just straight threw him to the floor and like, they started pushing his head on the concrete, and that’s when I think he opened his head,” Torres said.

Blood was visible all over the man’s forehead.

“They didn’t care at all. They didn’t care at all,” Torres said.

On Friday morning, neighbors were still gathering around the area, wondering why such force was necessary.

“Not only do they pick you up, but they beat you up,” said Manuel Maldonado. “This is unacceptable, but this is the sentiment that’s brought by the current administration, Donald Trump’s administration.”

“As like, federal agents like that, like, I feel like they shouldn’t be treating people like that. Like throwing them to the ground, tackling them, like, forcing them down, like, that’s not how they should be doing things,” Torres said. “That’s completely wrong.”

Torres said he was able to get in touch with the family of the man who was detained. They said they were able to speak with him, and he was still complaining about his head hurting.

The community has planned a peaceful protest for Friday at 5:30 p.m. local time at the intersection of Amar and Hacienda Boulevard.
