A video clip has shown Keith Dean attacking the authorities while stood at the door of a metro train in the city - before he is knocked to the ground by officers, who eventually arrest him.

A Houston police spokesman said: ''We commend these two officers for their actions in bringing a volatile situation to a safe conclusion.

''The male clearly struck our officer, who in turn used sound judgement in holding his composure and gaining control of the scene - thanks to assistance from his partner.''
