Viral video shows violent arrest of jaywalking Austin man
Austin police are investigating an early Friday morning incident that went viral online.
Video from 6th Street shows an officer holding one man while another knees him and throws rapid punches at his head.
"I'm not doing nothing, man!" the man yells, struggling as officers wrestle him to the ground.
Officers tell them man to "be still," and he says "Ok I'm down bro! I'm down!" A third officer joins and throws blows to the man's arm.
