The video that has now gone viral shows a Black man with his back against a wall, having an argument with the officer on Saturday morning. Then the officer starts punching the man who has been identified as 26-year-old DaShawn McGrier. The officer strikes McGrier dozens of times but he does not fight back.

The officer then puts his arm across McGrier’s head and neck and pins him to the ground as another officer looks on. McGrier face seems to be bleeding in the video.

The officer has not been named by the Baltimore Police Department. However, Warren Brown, McGrier’s attorney identified the officer as Arthur Williams, who graduated from the Baltimore Police training academy in April and has been with the department since last year according to NPR.

Brown has stated that McGrier has had a previous interaction with the officer that resulted in McGrier being charged with assaulting the officer, disorderly conduct, obstructing, hindering, and resisting arrest. Brown said that in the previous incident and the one that took place Saturday, McGrier was targeted without justification by the officer.

Brown went on to say his client has suffered multiple injuries during Saturday’s interaction including “fractured jaw, two fractured ribs, and he lost feeling in his left leg.” McGrier has started to regain feeling, Brown said.

McGrier was taken into custody and received medical treatment. He was released without any charges, according to Baltimore police.

Within hours of the altercation, the police department had suspended the officer who punched McGrier. The department has placed the other officer in the video on administrative duties as it looks into what it says is an active criminal investigation

“We are working day and night to bring about a new era of community-based, Constitutional policing and will not be deterred by this or any other instance that threatens our efforts to re-establish the trust of all citizens in the Baltimore Police Department,” Pugh said.
