Newly obtained video shows the moments a Philadelphia police officer left a man lying in the roadway in Olney minutes before the man was struck by a vehicle and killed.

The video, obtained by Action News on Monday, shows an officer stopping to assist a 48-year-old man who had fallen on Rising Sun Avenue near the intersection with Olney Avenue. The officer parked his vehicle to block the intersection and appeared to speak with the man.

Authorities have not said what was discussed during the interaction. After about a minute, however, the officer is seen returning to his vehicle and leaving the man in the street.
