Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, say they've launched an internal investigation into the forceful arrest of a man wrongfully suspected of fleeing a crash. The incident was caught on cell phone video inside an Applebee's restaurant.
According to a criminal complaint filed against the man for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News affiliate WISN, Kenosha police officers were responding to reports of a rollover crash nearby where multiple people fled the scene. The officer was looking for "an African American male and African American female" with a baby who had "run toward Kohl's or Menards," the complaint says.
According to the complaint and court records, the man encountered by police in the Applebee's was identified as Jermelle English. The complaint says officers initially believed he and the woman were involved in the accident and were evading police. Once an employee was able to get a hold of the baby and pass it to Harris, multiple officers tackle English to the ground. The cell phone video shows one officer repeatedly striking him while he's pinned down.
In this screen grab from bodycam video, a man is arrested while holding a baby in an Applebee's in Kenosha, Wis., on July 20, 2023."I think they [Kenosha police] still felt like what they did to the couple was justifiable because he [English] didn't answer their questions so they kind of treated it like it was two separate incidents," Harris told ABC News.
