Law enforcement in Louisiana used a suspect’s head as a punching bag during an arrest in broad daylight on a public street — and the vicious beatdown was all caught on video.
Check out the wild footage, obtained by TMZ … two cops are trying to restrain the man who is lying on his side on the the ground in Harvey, LA, in the New Orleans metro area, around 6:30 PM Thursday.
As you can see … one the officers is kneeling down to cuff the man while the other cop is standing over him during the struggle.
Suddenly, the cop who is standing delivers 3 crushing blows to the man’s head with his fist … followed by a brutal stomp on his skull. With each blow, you can see the man’s head jerk violently up and down, with his skull bouncing off the pavement with the final two strikes.
We don’t know yet what led up to the caught-on-camera police assault … but eyewitnesses told us the man’s face was bloody, although it was unclear the extent of his injuries.
Witnesses also told TMZ … 7 to 8 police cars arrived on scene as officers handcuffed the man and eventually placed him inside one of the patrol vehicles, whisking him away.
A rep for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, which covers the area, tells TMZ … Deputies arrested a suspect for battery on an officer, disturbing the peace, drunk and resisting by force or violence. It’s unclear if an internal investigation is underway.
