Dubuque, Ia (AP) — Authorities are investigating an eastern Iowa arrest after a video posted on social media showed a black man having a seizure while handcuffed and apparently struggling to breathe after officers used pepper spray on him.
Dubuque officials say an internal investigation will review the Friday night arrest of Yoosuf Moment. Police say Moment resisted officers before pepper spray was used. The moment was treated at a local hospital and released after he was ticketed on suspicion of driving without a valid license and interfering with police.
City Manager Mike Van Milligen said in a statement that officials are aware of concerns about the incident and a thorough investigation will be conducted.
