One of the officers, seemingly angered by the recording, approached the vehicle and attempted to stop him. Peller, however, stood his ground and continued filming, which allegedly led to him being struck in the face. The video turned blurry at that point, hinting at a physical altercation.
Fortunately, another officer recognized him and stepped in, alerting the colleague who had laid hands on him. Stepping out of his vehicle, Peller made it clear he would not let the matter slide, accusing the police of harassment and physical assault.
