WASHINGTON (WNEW/AP) — D.C. police say they are investigating the use of force by officers who were captured on video punching and kneeing a suspect in the head.

The arrest occurred on Monday in the 5100 Block of Cloud Place NE, and police say bystanders shot multiple videos. Police released one video (shown above) on Tuesday.

Upon arrival, police say they found the man standing by a car “talking to himself, doing push-ups, and taking his shoes off.”

While waiting for back-up to arrive, the man ripped the antenna off the car and began attacking an officer with it, according to court documents. In the video, that officer is seen taking out a nightstick and hitting the man in the leg.

The man then lunges at the officers, who then wrestle him to the ground. The officers are seen throwing several punches. Later, after the man is pinned by several officers with his hands behind his back, one of the officers can be seen kneeing the suspect in the head.

The man, who identified himself as Eric Jones, is suspected to have been under the influence of PCP, according to court documents. Three officers involved in the incident, Officers D’Avignon, Reuter and Crowley, were treated for minor injuries.

Jones was arrested and taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. He has since been charged with assault on a police officer and destruction of property.

Police say the officers reported the use of force as required by policy and an investigation is ongoing.
