U.S. Olympic runner Fred Kerley was arrested Thursday night in Miami Beach after a confrontation with police.

According to an arrest report, Kerley approached officers investigating an unrelated scene while trying to get to his nearby vehicle. When officers said he had to go around, Kerley “continued to aggressively argue,” the report states.

Bodycam footage shows Kerley approaching an officer, who puts his hand on Kerley’s chest. After Kerley brushes his hand away, that officer tries to grab Kerley’s left arm. Kerley pulls his arm back, and then the two appear to push each other.
