LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A man who was beaten and held down by Arkansas law enforcement officers during an arrest outside a convenience store has filed a lawsuit over the encounter. Attorneys for Randal Worcester filed the lawsuit on Monday over the 27-year-old’s arrest on August 21 that’s prompted state and federal criminal investigations.  An Arkansas sheriff’s deputy was filmed in a bystander’s video video repeatedly punching and kneeing Worcester in the head before grabbing his hair and slamming him against the pavement. Another officer was holding Worcester down as a third also kneed him over and over.
