VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Virginia Beach police are investigating officers’ use of force during the arrest of a Texas man.
Media outlets report that the internal investigation was prompted by cell phone video that shows two officers holding 27-year-old D’Vondray Terrell McIntyre, of Wylie, Texas, on the ground and punching him. A third officer then strikes McIntyre with his knee.
The incident occurred early Sunday at the Oceanfront after the officers responded to a report of an assault. Police say a person at the scene pointed out McIntyre to the officers. He is accused of assaulting one officer after they approached him, and then assaulting another officer during a brief foot chase.
McIntyre tells WAVY-TV (https://bit.ly/1PWqcmf) that he didn’t assault the officers and didn’t resist arrest.
