According to the report, Howard told police Martinez choked him. The photog claimed he was on public property when Howard harassed him.

“I looked over the video in the camera,” Officer Williams wrote. “I did see a quick glimpse of Martinez’s hand on Howard’s throat. But I cannot say if he put it there on purpose of by accident (sic) during the physical confrontation. I did hear Martinez state ‘I have a gun.’”
