Louisville police spokesman Dwight Mitchell confirmed to the Courier Journal that the department is investigating the incident depicted in the videos.

"LMPD is aware of the incident on Broadway this afternoon," Mitchell said. "We are in the process of collecting all body camera footage available from officers who were present. We have already begun a review of the incident, as we do in every case where force is used by officers."

Mitchell declined further comment.

Alicia Brown, a woman who was streaming the incident live on Facebook, said in the video that the man was pulled over by police and refused to get out of the car. Brown then said an officer took the man's soft drink and poured it on his lap. The man then charged the officer.

Brown and Wales did not return a request for comment left via Facebook.
