Good Samaritan tackles off-duty Police officer during alleged beating

[n2doc]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The case against a Louisville Metro Police officer accused of beating his wife has been delayed another day.

Officer Jonathan Osborne was expected to receive formal charges Wednesday morning in Clark County, but Prosecutor Jeremy Mull asked for a continuance until Thursday.

Osborne, a 10-year veteran with LMPD, has spent the last three days in jail awaiting those charges. Meanwhile, his wife and a stranger who tried to interfere in the alleged beating are both recovering from their injuries.

"I just did what I thought was right. I just couldn't stand to see somebody get hurt. I know normally somebody's quick to grab your phones out and record it, but I just can't bear to see somebody treated like that. I just couldn't do it," Louis Mossey said.
