Columbus, OH: 80 year-old woman w/knife + Whitehall Police [Video]

August 2nd, outside of the Whitehall Walmart, an 80 year old woman; wielding a small knife was seen as a threat to the officers on the scene as well as the surrounding citizens. Using a wristlock the female officer subdues the woman by slamming her to the ground.  On the one hand, this elderly woman does have a knife and can inflict damage with a weapon. On the other hand, really? Slamming her to the ground?

I'm posting this crazy late and I have to get sleep...if there is anyone who has more info on how this began [and how it ended] I am sure more people would like to know.

UPDATE: Here's the NBC4 article. It turns out the 84 year old woman is struggling from dementia. [via DonnaNBC4]
