The man who recorded a police officer shooting a black man says he fears for his own safety since he was identified as the person who videotaped what happened.

Feidin Santana told NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday that people now know where he lives and works. He says he considered staying anonymous for a time.

Santana says “lives changed in a matter of seconds” when he recorded the shooting on his way to work.

His attorney, Todd Rutherford, appeared on the show with him. Rutherford says Santana is afraid, noting the first thing he asked Thursday morning was, “How can I get protection?”

Rutherford says Santana never saw the officers perform CPR or other life-saving measures.
