The shocking moment four Wisconsin cops violently restrained an innocent black man holding a baby in a restaurant has been caught on camera.
An internal investigation has been launched after the Illinois man was pulled away from dining in Kenosha with his family at Applebees, knocked to the ground and repeatedly struck in the head on July 20.
Cops wrongly suspected the man of being involved in a hit and run on Highway 50 and Green Bay Road, Kenosha, earlier that night. The suspect in that incident was actually hiding in the Applebee's bathroom while the violence unfolded outside.
They claim a witness told them the female was carrying a child. When they entered the premises, police say an Applebee's staff member told them 'suspicious people' were dining who had a baby with them.
The group of four officers approached the man who holding the baby in his arms.
'I'm not doing s---! Let me the f--- go!' the man was heard yelling as the uniformed men were seen trying to strip away the infant. Once they were successful, officers threw the man onto his stomach yelling at him to 'put his hands behind his back' while hitting him several times.
Of the incident, police said: 'The male was being detained as the crash was being investigated.
'The male attempted to leave against officers orders and was restrained. He resisted and the incident that was caught on camera unfolded from there.'
Cops confirmed that the man they restrained was not the person responsible for the hit-and-run but is instead facing a slew of charges, including disorderly conduct, resisting, and obstructing an officer.
The individuals responsible for the hit-and-run were later located inside the Applebee's bathroom.
