MIAMI, FLORIDA: Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has made serious allegations against a police officer following an incident in Miami on Sunday, September 8.

Hill, who has found himself at the center of controversy, claims that during his arrest, an officer pinched him on the neck in an attempt to provoke a reaction, as per Fox News.

These claims were revealed during an interview on Amazon Prime Video before the Dolphins' Thursday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills.

Tyreek Hill accuses police officer of antagonizing him by pinching his neck

Tyreek Hill’s arrest, initially due to a speeding violation, quickly escalated, leading to his accusations.

The incident has stirred significant discussion, with Hill and his attorneys calling for the officer involved to face repercussions.

Meanwhile, the release of bodycam footage has added another layer to the situation, though it hasn't provided conclusive evidence of the alleged behavior.

During the interview, Hill didn’t hold back in detailing his experience with the Miami-Dade Police officers. He accused one of the officers of antagonizing him by physically pinching his neck while he was restrained.

"What people don't know about, whenever I was handcuffed behind my back, the officer was pinching me on my neck, like trying to get me to do something to him. It's just crazy, next level crazy," Hill told Amazon Prime Video.

Hill did not name the officer responsible, but his allegations cast a shadow over the conduct of the arresting officers.

The 27-year police veteran, Danny Torres, is the officer who handcuffed Hill. Torres has since been placed on administrative duties while the Miami-Dade Police Department conducts a review of the incident.

Hill’s legal team has made it clear they want Officer Torres fired over the incident. His attorneys argue that the officer’s behavior was not only unprofessional but also dangerous, claiming that his actions were meant to provoke a response from Hill, which could have escalated the situation further.

In response to the allegations, Officer Danny Torres has been reassigned to administrative duties while the investigation unfolds.

The Miami-Dade Police Department, under the direction of Police Director Freddie Ramirez, is reviewing the bodycam footage as part of the internal investigation.

Torres’ legal team, however, has pushed back, insisting that their client is innocent of any wrongdoing and should be reinstated immediately.

Tyreek Hill was pulled over for speeding as he approached Hard Rock Stadium

The footage released to the public shows the events leading up to Hill’s arrest. Hill was pulled over for speeding as he approached the Hard Rock Stadium, where the Dolphins play their home games.

Initially, Hill complied by handing over his driver’s license, but tensions rose when he refused to roll down his window as requested by the officer.

The situation took a turn when Hill stepped out of the vehicle at the officer's request.

As Hill exited the car, the encounter became physical. According to Hill, one of the officers grabbed him by the back of the head and neck, forcing him to the ground before placing him in handcuffs.

Hill was held for approximately 25 minutes before being released, thanks in part to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who arrived on the scene. As Hill walked back to his vehicle, he told officers, "I'll see y'all in court," hinting at potential legal action.
