Janelle Griffith is a national reporter for NBC News focusing on issues of race and policing.

Two Seattle police officers are under investigation after a bystander recorded them beating a man with their batons at a bus stop last week. In the video, which was posted online and first reported by NBC affiliate King 5-TV, two officers can be seen hitting a man with their batons last Friday afternoon. In the 40-second clip, one of the officers appears to grab the man's hair before he uses a knee to pin him down.

The police department did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether the officers had been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is being conducted. The department also did not respond to a request for comment about the man’s identity and condition and whether he was arrested or charged with a crime. The Seattle Police Officers Guild, the police union, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
