The series of videos was posted Monday via Twitter (http://wapo.st/2bk1G6k ). They appeared to show the person pushed with her face toward the vehicle and an officer could be heard saying, “Yes, you did, I saw it.” The officer then puts the person down.
Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman Rachel Schaerr told the AP authorities are aware of the video, are investigating and have contacted the officer’s commander.
A police statement released no identities or races of those involved and didn’t give details of what happened.
