Three law enforcement officers in Crawford County, Arkansas, have been placed on leave after a video shared on social media shows them beating and restraining a man in a parking lot. State police will investigate the incident, the governor said.
In the video, a law enforcement officer repeatedly and brutally punches a man that Arkansas State Police identified as Randall Worcester, 27, and slams his head against the cement ground several times. Another officer is seen kicking Worcester's lower body repeatedly while a third officer is seen holding him down.
The incident occurred at about 10:40 a.m. Sunday outside a convenience store in Mulberry, in Crawford County. Mulberry is located near Arkansas' western border with Oklahoma and about 140 miles northwest of Little Rock.
