Montgomery Co. police investigating video of officer kneeing handcuffed person
Montgomery County police are investigating after a video was posted to Twitter showing one of their officers kneeing a person who was laying in the sidewalk.
The video shows someone handcuffed and lying on his stomach on a sidewalk; police said it was at the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. An officer, one of a group of at least four on the scene, holds him down by the neck with one knee, while another stands on the back of his left knee.
After the officer stands up, the handcuffed person raises his head and yells at the officers. The officer drops back down to one knee, hitting the person in the neck and driving his head into the sidewalk, face-first.
