(KTRK) -- A Houston police officer was caught on camera Thursday taking a swing at a handcuffed robbery suspect. Eyewitness News investigates these shocking images captured by SkyEye 13 HD. And now the police chief is responding.
The Houston Police Department has been working to rebuild the public's trust for the last couple years after we first showed you video of officers punching and kicking teenage burglary suspect, Chad Holley.
Now another Houston police officer is under investigation over her actions at the end of a chase Thursday morning.
Many people watching the video are saying the officer's behavior doesn't make the department look good. And that could be why the police chief and his supervisors are taking quick action.
From SkyEye 13 HD, two Houston police officers are seen handcuffing and arresting a suspected armed robber who's in the middle of the screen. Police say the man in the torn white shirt lead them on a foot chase along some train tracks on the north side.
Then a female officer approaches the group and our cameras catch her taking a swing at the suspect.
"To me, the suspect was in custody, and certainly in handcuffs," Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland said.
