Milwaukee cop suspended after violent arrest caught on video
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police are investigating after officers kicked and punched a man restrained on the ground who had lashed out at arresting officers.
One officer is on paid suspension and three others are on administrative duty after video shot by a bystander emerged of the violence Wednesday evening. Separate police body camera footage shows the suspect attacking officers.
Police have not released the identities of the officers involved or the 25-year-old suspect.
Police say one officer suffered facial injuries and three others had swelling and bruises. The suspect was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and will undergo a mental health exam.
