According to warrants obtained by Los Angeles Times, Moore fled the residence on foot and resisted arrest, assaulting Hyder by grabbing his uniform.

The video shows Hyder striking Moore in the face with a closed fist, causing serious injuries including a possible broken nose and busted lip, as reported by CBS News.
