When the camera first turns to the police scene, it captures an officer forcefully shoving Nichols onto the pavement with a knee or leg.

Nichols is lifted up by the shoulders and then kicked twice to the face.

After he is lifted back up and sat down, Nichols is struck in the back with what appears to be a truncheon.

After bringing him to his knees, Nichols is hit again.

Once on his feet, video shows officers punch Nichols in the face multiple times while pinning his hands behind his body, after which he falls to his knees.

Less than a minute later, an officer appears to kick Nichols.

More than three minutes after the encounter is first caught on camera, the officers release Nichols, who rolls onto his back.

A minute later, Nichols is dragged across the sidewalk and lifted into a sitting position against the side of a car, where he is virtually ignored by officers for the next three and a half minutes.

Ten minutes into the video, an individual who appears to be a paramedic finally approaches Nichols.
