Police said Bridget Freitas slapped an officer while being carried out during Miami’s win Saturday over Virginia Tech at Hard Rock Stadium.
The officer then hits her in the face with his fist. His full name has not been released.
Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said in an email Sunday that the department is examining the video to make sure proper procedures were followed.
A video posted on Twitter shows three officers carrying Freitas, who is wearing a Miami jersey. Freitas flails at one officer and misses, then slaps him in the face. The officer then hits her in the face with his fist. His full name has not been released.
Jail records do not show Freitas being held Sunday afternoon. She did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
Watch the video below. Would you say the cop used excessive force after getting slapped in the face?
