Three Rochester, New York, officers have been removed from patrol duty after an incident in which a 9-year-old girl was handcuffed and pepper-sprayed, Interim Police Chief Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan said.
Body camera videos of Friday’s encounter released by the police department over the weekend showed officers restraining the child, putting her in handcuffs and attempting to get her inside the back of a police vehicle as she repeatedly cries and calls for her father.
The officers were responding to what police called a report of “family trouble” in an encounter sharply criticized by city officials. The incident led to protests in the community.
