The 22-year-old legally blind man who was involved in a scuffle with police Friday near 46th and Walnut has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, wrecklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Witnesses say that police used excessive force to subdue Darrell Holloway after he and two other men were stopped at about 9:30 p.m. A bystander was also charged in the melee, which sent Holloway and two police officers to the hospital.

Police stopped Holloway, who had no criminal record, and the other men for a “narcotics investigation” and Holloway soon began to “punch the officers in the face and body,” according to a police report. The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting that Holloway was “known” to police officers.

Witnesses say several officers struck Holloway with batons and flashlights. In a shaky cell phone video of the incident, bystanders can be heard shouting to police that Holloway was blind.

Holloway, who lives on the 5600 block of Pemberton Street, lost his vision four years ago after he was shot in the face, his family told the Daily News.

Holloway was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and later released. Two officers were hospitalized as well.

A 20-year-old woman, Nicole Boyd, was charged with aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of crime after she allegedly threw a flower pot at police from a second floor balcony.

Holloway and Boyd were released after posting bail. Both are scheduled for preliminary hearings on Sept. 6. Police would not say if an Internal Affairs investigation has been initiated.
