Arkansas Police Filmed Brutally Kicking & Punching Man on Sidewalk

HeadlineAug 22, 2022

In Arkansas, two Crawford County sheriff’s deputies and a Mulberry city police officer have been suspended after they were caught on camera brutally beating a man as they pressed him face-first into the pavement. Video posted to social media shows one officer holding the man down as two others repeatedly kick and punch him. At one point, one of the officers is seen slamming the man’s face into the pavement. Twenty-seven-year-old Randal Worcester was taken to a hospital with head injuries after his violent arrest, where he refused treatment. The Arkansas State Police said Sunday it has launched an investigation.
