Arkansas: Three cops have been suspended after a video of a beating surfaced.

One of the policemen hits the victim in the head many times and even bashes his head on the pavement.

Another cop knees the victim in the back many times. Both are clothed in Crawford County Sheriff's Office uniforms.

While this is happening, a police officer restrains the man on the ground.

To defend himself while being thrashed, the man covers his head with his hands and looks to be attempting to roll up into a ball.

The video has aroused controversy and been watched millions of times on social media.

One Twitter user mentioned George Floyd, a black man who was killed in police custody in 2020, sparking international riots.

A woman who is not visible in the video is heard saying: "Don't ever beat him! He requires his medication!"

One officer yells an expletive, while another tells her to get in her car.

The individual who uploaded the video stated her sister observed the confrontation in Mulberry.

Randall Worcester, 27, was identified as the individual apprehended by state police.

On Sunday morning, Mr Worcester was accused of uttering threats in a business.

When cops approached him, he allegedly shoved a deputy to the ground and hit the back of his head, resulting in the arrest seen in the video.
