The video shows the officers punching and kicking Harvey while he was down and apparently already handcuffed.
Hollis said what happened before Harvey was handcuffed doesn’t matter. They assaulted him after he was under arrest. He said Harvey was subsequently taken to the hospital and treated for burn marks from Tasers, a collapsed lung, head trauma and leg trauma.
District Attorney John Peck had no comment other than saying his office had been asked to investigate by the chiefs of both the Arnold and New Kensington Police departments, and has assigned detectives to do so. He said he would not view the video until after the investigators issue a report. In the interim, the officers are on leave. Harvey remains free on bond.
