Witnesses stop to help a CHP officer in Santa Ana.
It wasn't until after the encounter and the adrenaline left his body that Everardo Navarro said he was able to comprehend what happened.
Navarro was driving Friday afternoon in Santa Ana when he noticed the CHP officer and a man in a scuffle on the ground near Main Street and Santa Clara Avenue. Part of the fight was captured on camera in video that's now part of the CHP investigation. "When I approached the officer and the guy from the back, I punched the guy in the ribs, but it didn't help," Navarro said."I was afraid of the officers life because the man could've grabbed his gun and shoot the officer. I just grabbed his hand."Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.

Details about what led to the fight were not immediately availalble. The man was arrested after Navarro and other witnesses jumped into to help the officer, who was not seriously injured.
