"As a result of these allegations, the Police Chief immediately ordered an internal affairs investigation, and a review of the reported events has begun," the statement reads. "After a preliminary review of the information gathered, a decision was made to reassign both officers involved in the reported incident to administrative duties effective immediately and pending the conclusion of the investigation."

The officers, along with the city of Miami Beach, are facing a lawsuit after Harold Strickland said he was harassed and wrongfully arrested after he called 911 to report the beating of a gay man by police officers. READ MORE
