As we reported, cops say in police documents that McDowell stripped naked and was seen walking around near a school.
Officers say when they found him and confronted him, he attacked — with one cop alleging the football player told him “f*** you” and then “charged at me … at full speed with closed fist.”
The officer claimed McDowell struck him so hard and so many times, he suffered injuries in the altercation — including a badly swollen eye.
TMZ released a video of McDowell’s bizarre arrest that shows several officers trying to subdue the naked 6-foot-6, 290-pound naked football player.
The Browns released a statement on the incident as McDowell is being held on a $27,000 bond.
