Three Prince George’s County police officers have been suspended after a video showing one of them throwing to the ground, striking, and kicking a man while trying to detain him Saturday night at a gas station in Langley Park circulated on social media.

Citing a subsequent preliminary review of the incident, the county police department said in a release Tuesday that this officer had “observed an assault and attempted to detain the involved suspects,” the man and another person. Both suspects were released after police failed to locate the apparent assault victim. The department declined to name the suspects as well as the suspended officers.

The video, which appears to have been recorded from a car positioned near the gas station, shows that a second officer arrived at the scene in a police car and exited to assist the first officer in detaining the man on the ground.

“Look at this shit,” a man says repeatedly on the recording. “That’s crazy.”

“This is the type of shit we be protesting,” says another man.

The suspects’ race isn’t clear from the recording. “Upon reviewing the video, the two involved officers and their immediate supervisor were suspended pending the outcome of the investigation,” stated the department’s release. A spokesperson for the department said Maryland law prevents the police from releasing the names of the officers involved in internal investigations.

The incident comes as protests against police brutality in the wake of Minnesotan George Floyd’s death while in police custody continued in D.C. into their sixth day.

In a statement, Prince George’s County Police Chief Henry Stawinski said he was “sorry” and “angry,” promising that the department would “thoroughly” investigate the incident and refer its findings to the state attorney’s office. In its release, the department included a YouTube version of the video, Stawinski said, “in the name of transparency.” Four officers have been criminally prosecuted for assault during his tenure, he added.

In January, another county police officer, Michael Owen, was indicted for manslaughter, assault, and misconduct in office in the fatal shooting of William Green, a 43-year-old resident of Southeast D.C. Owen wasn’t wearing a body camera at the time of the shooting, a fact that caused County Executive Angela Alsobrooks to direct a rapid expansion in the county’s police body camera program by year’s end.

A spokesperson for Aisha Braveboy, the state attorney for Prince George’s County, says officers were found guilty in the two previous police use-of-force cases that went to trial in the county.
