Officer left in critical condition after suspect he was tracking turned on him on live TV
A Tennessee sheriff's deputy who was being filmed on the job for a television show was brutally beaten by the same man he was trying to track down. 'On Patrol: Live' captured the horrendous attack on officer Dalton Swanger during Saturday night's broadcast, which left him in a critical condition, which took place while he was responding to a shooting in a nearby neighborhood. The officers were tracking 44-year-old suspect Christopher Hensley as they took part in the broadcast, which follows officers on duty as they carry out their work. It's understood the suspect allegedly struck the officer in the face with either a brick or a rock. Co-host of the show, Tom Rizzo, said 'the entire studio went silent as we watched what happened next.' In the distressing footage, two of Swanger's colleagues hold his arms as he is dragged, semi conscious and on his back, out of harms way. Rizzo said: 'This was yet another example of an attack on the uniform…no care/concern otherwise for the person wearing it.' 'The fellow officers have to then regain composure after their brother officer is taken to a trauma center…press reset…do the job.' Swanger sustained critical head injuries and still remains in the trauma intensive care unit, his police department said in a statement on Tuesday. His condition is critical but stable, and visits have been restricted to encourage rest. They said: 'Deputy Swanger continues to improve, making minor yet significant improvements. This healing journey will take time, patience, and continued fervent prayer.' A GoFundMe has been set up to help his family with a note that he is now unable to work 'his second job' to provide for his family. The suspect was ultimately arrested and charged with attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault on a first responder, possession of a firearm with intent to go armed and manufacturing, delivering, selling, possession of a controlled substance. Sheriff Tom Spangler said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Swanger and his family during this challenging time. We are committed to thoroughly investigating this matter and are utilizing all available resources. 'I am at the hospital with Deputy Swanger and asking our community to do what they do best, pray!' Hensley's bond was set at $2.025million and he will next appear in court on August 20.

Dan Abrams, the host of Dan Abrams Live, has revealed he will be leaving his primetime show on NewsNation. Sharing the news during a December 2024 broadcast, Abrams confirmed he will remain part of NewsNation in a new role. Now, many are curious to know the reason behind his exit. Here is more about Abrams' exit from NewsNation. Dan Abrams has announced he will be leaving his primetime show Dan Abrams Live on NewsNation in February 2025. During a December 2024 broadcast, Abrams shared the news with viewers, citing the challenges of balancing his various responsibilities. Over the years, he has built an impressive portfolio, working as ABC News chief legal analyst, hosting the Reelz show On Patrol Live, and running a daily SiriusXM radio show. He also manages a growing digital media empire that includes Mediaite and the Law & Crime Network. Explaining his decision, Abrams shared, 'Three years after this really unexpected opportunity, I've reached the point where it's impossible to keep devoting the time needed for this show while also running and growing my other businesses.' While he acknowledged how much he has enjoyed his time hosting the nightly program, Abrams admitted that the demands of his other ventures have grown too significant to ignore.
