A video circulating on social media shows a tense and physical arrest involving Doral police officers as they struggled to restrain a man following a reported domestic dispute and car crash on Saturday.

The video, uploaded to OnlyinDade, shows at least five officers trying to pin the man to the ground during the arrest. At one point, an officer appears to place his arm around the man’s neck.

An officer can be heard yelling, “Get on your stomach!”

The man, who is wearing a blue tracksuit, is eventually placed in handcuffs and walked to a patrol car.

Officers were responding to a reported domestic dispute involving a man and a woman at the Doral Police Department. When officers arrived, the man was inside a car and fled during the investigation, according to Doral Police spokesperson Alicia Neal.

Police say the man crashed the car near Northwest 103rd Avenue and 66th Street, where he was taken into custody.

The incident remains under investigation, and police say additional details will be released as they become available.
