“She went through my backpack and threw the battery pack that I had. Then she grabbed my phone and threw it on the ground. I went to grab my backpack and it started all again. They hit me,” Yawn said.

Yawn admits he shoved the man before the camera started rolling, but he claims the other guy shoved first.

“It’s messed up, because I can’t swing back. I can’t do nothing, because I’ll go to jail. But the next man who swung on somebody and hit me ain’t in jail,” Yawn said. “Really, I think its messed up, because people look at us like they’re nothing. That’s not right. We are something. We are a human being.”

Houston Police couldn’t find a report for the incident Monday.

“I was there trying to press charges. The HPD officer told me to get lost, that corporate, the man over him, told him that me and my brother had to get lost,” he said.
