PHILADELPHIA -- Less than three weeks after a video of a Philadelphia
police officer punching a woman in an unprovoked attack went viral on
the internet, yet another video of police brutality in Philadelphia has
surfaced. However in this latest video, the suspect hit the officer
first, CBS Philly reports.

The incident occurred on September
29th during South Street's Oktoberfest, when the intoxicated suspect,
John Scrivano, yelled at an officer and then slapped him on the side of
his face. In response, the officer drew his baton and hit the man
repeatedly; even after they both fell to the ground.

The
officer's name have not been released but sources say that Internal
Affairs is investigating the case because of the use of force.

Scrivano
now faces assault charges and is due in court on Tuesday. His
girlfriend says that he suffered a broken orbital bone as a result of
the beating.

Authorities say that the officer is still working street duty.
