A video showing a Maryland police officer kneeing a man multiple times during an arrest over vaping is circulating through social media.
The encounter began on Saturday just before 8:30 p.m. in the coastal resort town of Ocean City after officers approached a “large group vaping on the boardwalk” near 12th Street, the city said in a statement.

After the officers informed the group of the city ordinance prohibiting smoking and vaping, the officers observed a man resume vaping, officials said. When the officers approached the group again, the man refused to provide his identification and “became disorderly,” and a large crowd began to form around the officers, according to the city.
The video, taken by witness Lauryn Gray, began as the detainee was already on the ground.
One officer can be heard telling the detainee, identified by officials as 19-year-old Brian Everett Anderson of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to “stop resisting.”
Anderson can be heard saying, “I’m not resisting” and, “He just kneed me, bro,” before one officer knees him forcefully several more times while the crowd reacts in the background. Witnesses surrounding the scene can be heard yelling at officers.
Gray says she was with friends at the Brothers Bistro and Bar when they heard a “thud,” she told ABC News. She said she started recording after she saw officers surrounding a man on the floor and yelling at him to stop resisting.
The man yelled back: “What are you arresting me for,” before the officer kneed him in the ribs several times, Gray said, adding that she did not see what led up to the altercation.

City officials said they were aware of the social media videos circulating, stating that the officers “are permitted to use force, per their training, to overcome exhibited resistance.”
“All uses of force go through a detailed review process,” the statement read. “The uses of force from these arrests will go through a multi-level examination by the Assistant Patrol Commander, the Division Commander and then by the Office of Professional Standards.”
Several others were arrested as a result of the incident.

During the chaos, another man, 19-year-old Khalil Dwayne Warren of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was seen standing on private property that had two “no trespassing” signs, officials said. When the officers ordered Warren to leave, he allegedly “became disorderly” and then resisted arrest, officials said.
