The attorney general's office is investigating an incident that occurred earlier this month between a Newburgh man and a Newburgh police officer.

Witness video appears to show a man allegedly being punched to the ground and tased by police, even after he was already subdued.

Marquis Freeman is accused of threatening to assault police during a call for disorderly conduct. They say Freeman failed to comply with orders to step out of the road and later, spit on a female police officer three times after his arrest.

The video shows the final moments of the incident when a male officer punches Freeman to the ground and continues beating him while he’s held down by two other officers and Tased. An officer is then heard speaking to witnesses who questioned the arrest tactics used.

An officer has since been suspended, according to investigators.

Mayor Torrance Harvey says he has met with the city manager and City Council members about the incident. He's also had a phone conference with Newburgh's police chief.
