A Fort Worth, Texas police officer has been removed from patrol duties after a video showed him pepper-spraying a group of motorcyclists.
The Fort Worth Police Department said Officer Figueroa pulled over a red pickup truck on Sunday afternoon for blocking traffic to record motorcycles driving recklessly.
Cellphone video showed the officer exiting his patrol car and pepper-spraying the group of passing riders.
Five bikers were treated at the scene for exposure to the spray while one man was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
One of the riders was Brittany Botella, who is six months pregnant.
"I looked out my mirror and I seen like all the mace going towards the bikes and then it hit us and then I started choking," Botella said.
The Fort Worth Police Department said Officer Figueroa has been assigned to desk duty while an internal investigation is underway.
They did not release his first name.
