An officer with the Los Angeles Police Department has been temporarily relieved field duties after video captured him punching a 30-year-old man, who appears to be handcuffed and not resisting, in face as he was being detained.  

The July 28 incident occurred during what’s described as a traffic stop at East 113th Street near Graham Avenue in Watts.  

Cellphone of the incident shows the man, identified by community activists as Alexander Donta Mitchell, yelling, “What did I do?” as he was being detained when one of the officers punches him hard on the right side of his face.
