Attorney says video shows punches during Santa Ana arrest

What the attorney says

An attorney says video footage shows Santa Ana police officers punching a man repeatedly during an arrest. The claim concerns the officers’ actions during the arrest and is tied to video that has been described as showing the encounter.

What remains at issue

The information available here does not establish the man’s identity, the reason for the arrest, when the encounter occurred, whether anyone was injured, or whether the Santa Ana Police Department has issued a response. It also does not establish whether a court case, investigation or disciplinary proceeding has been opened.

What to watch

The Santa Ana Police Department’s response could address the arrest and the officers’ conduct. Any court filing, investigation record or additional video could provide more detail about the encounter and the claims made by the attorney.
