A Florida man ran down and pinned an 11-year-old girl he suspected of egging his home in a "reprehensible" confrontation that was caught on video, authorities said Monday.
The girl was screaming for help and insisting she had done nothing wrong after Marius Mutu, 43, put her on the ground Saturday afternoon, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.
Mutu told deputies that his apartment had been egged in recent days and that when "it happened again that day, he assumed the girl walking nearby was responsible," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
He "chased her, forced her to the ground, and restrained her until adults intervened," it added.
"I wasn't doing anything, I swear to God!" the terrified girl could be heard screaming in video. "Help me! Help me!"
Neighbors heard and saw the commotion.
"I'm recording," a woman said in the video. "Get off of her!"
Then a man ran into the frame and confronted Mutu: "Hey, hey, get your hands off of her!"

And unless you are defending yourself, keep your hands to yourself.
Rapey jerk needed a baseball bat taken to him. That video was downright creepy.
Exactly.
No idea if the girl was guilty or innocent....
But 11-12 year old girls can be scary and very feral. A few years ago, the house up on the hill behind and above my house in town was an “Air B&B” type place, rented out for a few days or weeks at a time.
There was a state youth girls soccer tournament held in my town and that house was rented to one of the teams. They started egging my house. and when they ran out of eggs, they started throwing rocks. Broke one of my windows. when I went out to tell them to stop, they chorused that if I called the cops, they would say that I was trying to peep at them and tried to rape them and they were just defending themselves.
And their supposedly adult woman chaperone / coach said she would back up their claims if the police came.
That was a very educational weekend for me.
I would have told them I have them on security cam.

Us guys had a lot of ‘fun’ at that age too!
