A Dallas police officer is forced leave after a video surfaced showing him punching a man during a brawl in Deep Ellum.
The video starts out showing a street fight in front of Off The Cuff, a Deep Ellum sports bar near Elm and North Malcolm X.
Police arrive but they are clearly out-numbered by the brawlers.
Officers begin trying to separate the fighters in hopes of quelling the confrontation. At one point, the man taking the video shifts his phone to show a police officer punching a man about six times before other officers stop him.
A Dallas police spokesman says Police Chief Eddie Garcia "would like to commend those officers who recognize their duty to intervene in this incident and de-escalated this situation."
