Detroit police reviewing video of cop punching man in face in Greektown

Detroit — After a video was published Sunday depicting a police officer punching a man in the face in Greektown, Detroit police are reviewing the footage and Internal Affairs is investigating.

The video posted Sunday on Reddit, titled "Detroit pigs handing out the brain damage," appears to show a Detroit Police Department special response team officer winding up and punching a man in the face, who then appears dazed as he tries to sit up.

It's not immediately known when the video took place.

The officer who swings approached the man alongside four other officers.

"Y'all ain't have to do that, dog!" yelled a man off-camera, as a cellphone recorded the 45-second clip.
