Cop Dmitry Khokhlov claims Sergei Yuzhakov performed a plethora of weird stunts voluntarily to ‘reduce the level of drugs in his blood’ despite the man denying it
A cop is under fire for seemingly torturing someone he’d arrested. Bizarre CCTV video clips appear to show a police officer forcing a drunk man onto all fours and making him walk down a corridor shouting “I am a tiger”.
The weird clips comes from Russia and has now sparked furious debate after it was made public during the trial of Sergei Yuzhakov. He was arrested in November 2023, after claiming he was involved in drug distribution. His home was searched and he was subsequently arrested and taken to the police station.
And while there, he was allegedly forced onto all fours, while other clips show him being beaten by a belt, as the officer was trying to get the password to the man’s laptop out of him – and a full confession.
The man had been arrested by Dmitry Khokhlov – not related to the Russian football manager of the same name – who claims Yuzkhakov did it voluntarily to “reduce the level of drugs in his blood”.
The police officer pointed out that Yuzhakov, who had actually tried to escape from police after his arrest, allegedly “performed the exercises himself because he was intoxicated with drugs and wanted to sober up faster,” local Russian news channels claim.
He was also made to perform squats and push-ups, while being forced to hold a five-litre bottle of water at the same time.
In December 2023, the Khokhlov was fired from the police. Yuzhakov has since been convicted on drugs charges, while the case into Khokhlov continues after he was charged with abuse of office.
It comes a few months after a cop was arrested by his own colleagues for being drunk.
Elizabeth Kenyon was convicted following an “off-duty incident” in Manchester city centre in the early hours of January 11.
The results of a misconduct hearing led by Assistant Chief Constable John Webster have now been revealed. In his judgement, he stated that she was “approached by two on-duty police colleagues”, but “behaved in a manner that caused the officers who encountered her on the morning in question to affect her arrest for the offence of drunk and disorderly”.
Pc Kenyon, he noted, was “extremely intoxicated and quite abusive to the officers in question”, who were said to have been trying to help a friend she was with at the time. At the hearing, she denied her conduct constituted ‘gross misconduct’, but ACC Webster said he found what happened did amount to gross misconduct.
