"There was an outrageous and unacceptable physical altercation with a Warren police officer involving a young African American delivery man for Amazon to a Warren home today," he wrote.
"I have spoken with Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer and have ordered that this officer be terminated immediately."
"The policy of the warren police department and the training provided to every officer is to deescalate every situation,” he concluded.
At a Wednesday morning press conference, Commissioner Dwyer said the driver is facing felony charges of resisting and obstructing a police officer, failure to obey a lawful command, and failure to produce a driver's license.
Dash cam footage of the incident was also shown to the press, which claimed the officer asked for the driver's identification 11 times, but was refused.
