Police: U.S. swimmer in video fighting with guard

With three American swimmers being kept in Brazil following allegations they were robbed, authorities have told ABC News of a video showing a U.S. swimmer breaking down a gas station restroom door and fighting a security guard.

Ryan Lochte, the most high-profile victim in Sunday morning's alleged robbery, said Wednesday that he and the other swimmers were in a taxi at a gas station when armed men posing as police officers robbed them.

The report of a video comes after U.S. swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were stopped from leaving on a flight Wednesday night as authorities investigate the alleged robbery.
