The female possibly had a white shirt on and the female did not have a helmet. >> Officers in the surrounding area do locate a male and female on a motorcycle before initiating a traffic stop. They give their description to see if it matches the witness's account. >> Got a male in black short green shirt and a female sitting down. She's kind of like purple on top. >> She stopped over here.

The male and female on the motorcycle that officers were about to initiate a traffic stop on cause a multi-vehicle car accident, resulting in serious injuries for the female riding on the back. Hi, sir. >> Hey, how are you? >> Okay, so we have fire rescue and his grand we have fire rescue coming your way. Okay, >> we were going pretty pretty fast. >> When I saw it, >> I didn't see him.

While the officer transporting the original witness is still on the way, a motorcycle officer escorts the ambulance to the nearest hospital. Can you imagine? There you go. HEAT. HEAT.

The male suspect was identified as Armando Fagaza, a Fidian fitness influencer and bodybuilder born in Brazil. He's gained well over 700,000 followers on Instagram from videos he's posted of himself accomplishing large feats of strength like crushing a watermelon with his bare hands, poking a hole in a Coke can, bending a hammer, and more. In one of his posts, he can actually be seen wearing the exact outfit with the green shirt and black shorts he had in the body cam footage. Armando's [music] wife, who was the female passenger with him, is also featured on his Instagram account. She was transported to a nearby hospital's trauma center and treated for her injuries. The officer, who was run over by Armando, was also transported to the hospital to be treated [music] for fractured ribs, abrasions, and bruising throughout his entire body. After fleeing from the officer, Armando's wife later revealed to police that they were traveling between 80 and 100 m an hour before they crashed into a vehicle, throwing her off the motorcycle. Police have stated that Armando also has no driver's license, only a Brazilian passport. Armando was charged with leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury, driving without a valid license causing serious injury, fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, reckless driving causing [music] serious bodily injury, and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer totaling five felonies. He is also facing an immigration hold due to his charges. [music] He is currently being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with no bond. Court records indicate his trial is set for January 5th, 2026. While he hasn't yet been sentenced, depending [music] on plea deals and concurrent versus consecutive sentencing, Armando could face up to 20 to 60 plus years in prison for his five felonies. He is innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. There's a certain kind of danger that never announces itself with gunfire or screaming because in this case, it's just a guy on a motorcycle. One moment, an officer is stepping out into the roadway just to do his job, trusting the public to act like adults. And in a split second, that trust gets shattered by someone who has zero respect for the uniform. When this guy hit the officer, this was a decision made out of fear and ego. And he probably felt that running would keep him safe, like speed was going to erase the consequences waiting behind him. People rarely understand the weight of the split second for the officer. The moment where stepping out to enforce traffic isn't just procedure, but it's like a silent contract that the public will respect the badge. But there's a certain percentage of people that simply won't. This clip reminds me how thin control really is. How every stop is a risk where the officer is exposed, vulnerable, and standing on faith that the person in front of them will not choose anarchy. And police see these patterns over and over. People who treat a lawful stop like a personal insult. like the officer is ruining their day instead of preventing a tragedy. And these decisions on the road sadly in lives every day. And we have to keep in mind society only works when people accept limits. Speed limits, stop signs, red lights. Those aren't inconveniences. They're guard rails meant to keep people alive. When you ignore them and play with people's lives, you aren't rebelling. There are many who can't coexist without risking someone else's future.
