Police in Pennsylvania are investigating after an officer appeared to put a knee on the neck of a person during an incident captured on video by at least one bystander that drew comparisons to the death of George Floyd.

Iran PressAmerica: The Allentown Police Department is conducting a use-of-force investigation, according to a statement released Monday. Video of the incident on Twitter shows three officers on top of a screaming man.

One of the officers appears to put a knee on the man's neck after trying to restrain him by other means.

Attorney Ben Crump, who represents Floyd's family, shared a video of the incident on Twitter, describing it as 'exactly what led to (Floyd's) death'. He called for the police to identify the officer.

The death of George Floyd, an African-American man, occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. It has caused a lot of unrest in American cities.

According to reports, the US police have killed nearly 200 people in the first four months of 2020.
