(CNN) — A Broward County sheriff's deputy is on "restricted administrative assignment" after a video surfaced that appears to show him slamming a teenage boy's head into the ground and then punching the teen in the head.
The video of the Thursday incident appears to show one Florida deputy spraying pepper spray in the face of a teen boy. As the teen appears to walk away with his hands on his face, the deputy follows him, grabs him and slams him to the ground.
Another deputy then jumps onto the boy's back, slams his face into the pavement more than once and punches the teen in the head.
In the background, bystanders can be heard yelling "What are you doing?" and "He's bleeding."
The video, which has since gone viral on social media, has sparked outrage over the deputy's conduct.
