An incident between a woman walking her dog and a Chicago Police officer is being investigated, after a witness video showing the unidentified officer grabbing the woman’s arm went viral Sunday. The woman, who has been identified by her attorneys as Nikkita Brown, called 911 and said she was racially profiled, CBS Chicago reports.
The Chicago Police Department responded to the video, saying in a tweet that they are aware of the video and are working with the Citizen’s Office of Police Accountability on the matter.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot spoke on the Nikkita Brown situation: “I saw the video. I was quite disturbed by what I saw. It looked like the woman was following the direction of the officer and leaving the beach.” It’s under investigation.
