The Anaheim Police Department said Sunday that it will launch an internal, use-of-force investigation after an officer was seen in a cellphone video, appearing to strike a suspect with his firearm.
The video that has circulated on social media shows a suspect in dark clothing appearing to try evading an arrest in Lynwood while an officer with the Anaheim police vest chases him.
