NEW YORK (WPIX) - Two NYPD officers were suspended after they were caught brutally beating a handcuffed suspect on video tape, officials said.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly confirmed to reporters Thursday that officers John Cicero and William Green were suspended after the Bronx District Attorney launched an investigation on the alleged beating.

In addition, two other unidentified sergeants were also suspended, Kelly revealed.

In the disturbing video obtained by the New York Post, Cicero is seen punching suspect Jonathan Baez, during an undercover drug operation in the Bronx on Jan 5. At the time of the assault, Baez was face down on the ground in handcuffs.

Green is also seen assaulting a helpless Baez later in the video.

Charges against Baez in connection to the bust were reportedly dismissed.
