Shocking bodycam footage captured the moment a quadriplegic YouTube influencer rammed Florida cops with his motorized wheelchair as they arrested his mother. 

Bryant Amastha, 32, known on YouTube as recording artist El Valien-T, was arrested in May on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer following a foul-mouthed episode outside his home in Miami. 

Florida cops have now released bodycam footage of the incident, showing Amastha appear to accelerate his wheelchair into an officer, while accusing him of 'laughing at' him. 

Amastha previously denied the charges in court, as a judge said they have 'truly never seen a case like this.'

Amastha is seen at the start of the bodycam footage after he called 911 on his mother, claiming she swung at him in some kind of altercation. 

He was seen downplaying the severity of the situation and insisted that she only 'grazed' him, and appeared to grow nervous as police felt they should arrest her. 

In his conversation with police, Amastha described how his mother takes care of him in their home, but said she was arrested the previous September after a separate mental health incident. 

He said she attempted suicide two weeks later, which led officials to instate the Baker Act at the time. The law allows for the involuntary detention of people who have a mental illness and may harm themselves or others. 

Amastha said his mother was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder, but refused to take her medications or visit her psychiatrist.

After describing the recent encounter that led him to call the cops, Amastha repeatedly urged officers not to arrest his mom, but instead to 'Baker Act her.' 

In separate footage, Amastha's mother was seen being arrested and taken into custody in handcuffs, which triggered him to become enraged at the officers. 

Amastha repeatedly ordered officers to arrest him alongside his mother, telling them: 'If she's going, then I'm going too.' 

As the officers took his mother to their vehicle, Amastha appeared to accelerate down his driveway to ram one of the officers in the legs, as he accused the cop of 'laughing at' him. 

Amastha admitted to hitting the officer in the clip, telling him: 'I just hit you again, what the f*** are you gonna do about it?' 

After his first court appearance, Local10 asked him outside the courthouse if he hit the officer, to which Amastha responded: 'I absolutely did not.'

He also claimed that the officers 'manhandled me', although the Miami-Dade Police Department said they had not received any complaints about the incident. 

They also said they had not been informed of any allegations of rough handling during the arrest or damage to the wheelchair. 

He is next due in court on Wednesday, after he was released by a judge who agreed that he did not pose a flight risk. 

Amastha, recognized as a Colombian artist and producer, boasts a substantial following on social media platforms like Instagram, where he has amassed nearly 100,000 followers.

He shares music videos featuring himself singing and, in some cases, surrounded by dancing women on his YouTube channel.

On his YouTube, he describes himself as a 'talented artist' who has 'demonstrated his power across the globe by breaking barriers never broken before, becoming the first latin urban music icon in a wheelchair.'
