A Hayward woman has filed a brutality complaint against the Hayward Police Department.
Carolina Olvera,19, said she was slammed to the ground by an officer for no reason at all and the incident was caught on camera.
“I felt like trash. I felt like trash,” Olvera said. “That’s what they made me feel like and I’m so angry.”
The incident happened outside a 7-Eleven store last month.
A passenger in the vehicle Olvera was riding in had a warrant out for his arrest. He was taken into custody, but she says there was no reason for her arrest.
“I got out of the car. They were telling me put your hands up,” she said. ” At the moment I was shaking because I was so scared…”
She claims the officer grabbed her hair and cursed at her just before pushing her towards the patrol vehicle.
“…Decided to grab me like a doll and throw me like a rag doll on the floor like I was trash and I just remember my face hitting the floor and it hurt so bad,” she told KRON4’s Michelle Kingston.
A 7-Eleven employee watched everything unfold from inside the store.
She said, “The girl who was thrown was screaming because I think her hair was pulled and then just dropped like that.”
Olvera is recovering from a dislocated shoulder, concussion and swollen eye.
“I want them to apologize. I want them to apologize to me personally,” she said. “I want the officer to apologize to me maybe I feel like they should remove him or punish him because what he did was not right.”
KRON4 reached out to the Hayward Police Department for a statement on the allegations, but no one was available for comment.
