In the video, the man in the wheelchair attempted to roll himself out of the flames before Alexander ran up to him and pushed him back into the fire. During the struggle, the victim fell backwards in the wheelchair.

Two detectives exited their vehicle with guns drawn at Alexander, both rushing over to the area. One detective, along with a nearby bystander, pulled the victim from the fire while the other detective arrested the suspect.
