LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Fire Department has launched an investigation into a video posted on social media that shows firefighters punching and kicking a man outside Station 6 in Silver Lake on Friday.
The man had allegedly tried to break into the station, said Officer Norma Eisenman, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman.
The video, which was first reported by ABC7, shows one firefighter punching the man while two others struggle with him. The man then falls to the ground and the firefighters drag him toward the sidewalk, with one of them kicking him.
