Police said the woman in the viral video struck the police officer first.
Chester, Pennsylvania, Chief of Police James Nolan said his department was investigating an incident after a video went viral of a police officer punching a woman in the face.
Police said that as they were trying to control the situation, Dominique Difiore, 20, allegedly struck a police officer, but the video circulating on social media did not show that. Difiore, Westfall, Shawn Connelly, 21, of Philadelphia, and Tess Herman, 20, of Springfield, were arrested and charged with aggravated assault and alcohol-related offenses, police said.
A similar incident occurred last week, after police in Miami were investigating a viral video of a woman being violently taken down to the ground by a police officer after allegedly calling the police for help. The Twitter user who posted the video claimed the woman who was detained by officers had called for help after someone threatened her with a weapon.
