A video from 2021 shows a former TV personality displaying anger during their arrest.

Today, a court has released bodycam footage to 9News that captured the moment when former television presenter Andrew O'Keefe was arrested in 2021 on assault charges. The footage, which was obtained by 9News, shows NSW Police officers knocking on O'Keefe's door. At first, everything seems to go smoothly, but then officers inform him that he is being arrested.

In the video, the former game show host and TV presenter can be heard asking why he is being arrested, to which an officer responds that it is for assault and breaching an AVO. This comes after O'Keefe had allegedly abandoned passengers in a car crash in Geelong, which had already made headlines.

As the situation escalates, O'Keefe can be seen shouting, "This is what happens when I don't have my medication...this is a very simple request, why are you being such f***ing n*zis about it." The officers then struggle to handcuff O'Keefe, pushing him against the wall. In a separate clip from the arrest, O'Keefe is shown in an elevator surrounded by police, and one officer can be heard saying, "Your attitude is not making it any better, alright."

This comment prompts O'Keefe to respond with anger, saying, "Attitude? F--- you man, this is not attitude... this is justifiable and righteous rage at the way I am being treated." It is clear that the situation is tense and emotions are running high. It is also worth noting that this incident occurred while President Biden was holding a national security meeting, as the US was on high alert for potential retaliation from Iran.

Ultimately, O'Keefe was cleared of resisting arrest, but he was found guilty of assault. The magistrate described the attack, in which O'Keefe allegedly kicked, pushed, and spat on a woman, as "violent and degrading." O'Keefe is currently appealing these criminal convictions, but he is also facing new and unrelated allegations of breaching an AVO, driving while suspended, and driving under the influence of drugs. It seems that O'Keefe's troubles are far from over.
