Several NYPD police officers are under investigation after a video surfaced of them punching and pistol-whipping a teenage while his hands were up.

Several NYPD officers are under investigation after a video surfaced which reportedly caught them punching and pistol-whipping a teenage during an arrest.
The surveillance video obtain by DNAInfo shows Kahreem Tribble, 16, at first jogging away from the officers. But as Tribble slowed to a stop, one of the officers is seen punching him in the face.
As the teenager stumbles back with his hands up a second officer appears to smash him in the face with his gun.
NYPD officers caught on camera
During the Aug. 29 incident, police found 17 bags of marijuana on Tribble and arrested him for the drugs and for disorderly conduct. Tribble, who suffered cracked teeth and bruises, later pleaded guilty to a violation.
“What’s depicted on this video is troubling and warrants a thorough investigation,” Ken Thompson, the Brooklyn District Attorney, told DNAinfo. Thompson, in addition to the NYPD’s Internal Affair Bureau, has launched a criminal investigation into the case.
“The matter is under internal review,” said Deputy Chief Kim Royster, an NYPD spokeswoman.
The NYPD says one of the officers has been suspended while the other has been placed on modified duty and relieved of his gun and badge. The NYPD has not identified the officers.
However, according to MSNBC, the site DNAinfo has identified the officers as Tyrane Isacc and David Afandor. The website identifies Afandor as the officer seen hitting Tribble in the face with his gun.
A third officer is seen in the video standing by, watching as the two other officers pummel the teen.
