The other police officer also appears to strike the man in the leg.Nicole Bansal, 34, of La Jolla, said she recorded the video from her car after she recognized the man as a vagrant who is often seen in the neighborhood.

"I see him around all the time. He's harmless. He's just homeless," she previously told NBC News."He's very easy to recognize because he always has a big orange life vest on." The man was taken to the hospital following his arrest. After he was released, he was booked on charges of resisting arrest and battery of a police officer.
