Mr. Westbrook. Well, I know that I seen Oswald swing at McDonald and McDonald grab him.
Mr. Ball. Oswald swung with which arm, would you say?
Mr. Westbrook. I would say it would be his left fist, because from the way he was sitting facing me—I would say it would be his left fist.
Mr. Ball. Then what did you see?
Mr. Westbrook. Well, the next thing, of course, then I started running and there was probably six or seven officers that just converged on him just like that. Barrett was, I think, directly behind me in the aisle—he got there at the same time I did.
I yelled about two or three times, "Has somebody got his gun," and finally some officer—I don't know which one it was—says, "Yes; I have the gun."
Mr. Ball. Were you close enough to hear anything said by either McDonald or anyone else?
Mr. Westbrook. I heard Oswald say something about police brutality—Oswald yelled something about police brutality.
Mr. Ball. When McDonald first approached the man in the seats did you hear McDonald say anything?
Mr. Westbrook. I probably couldn't have heard this, Mr. Ball, from where I was.
