RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Raleigh Police Department, along with the Wake County District Attorney, are investigating an incident in which officers used batons to subdue a man. 

• Video goes viral of Raleigh Police using batons to try to subdue a man.
• In the video, the man can be seen swinging at the officers.
• The man in the video's mother now says she doesn't know where he is. 

The video began to circulate Facebook Friday afternoon, 44-year-old Frederick Hall can be seen swinging as multiple officers try to apprehend him. Later the same officers can be seen hitting the man with batons as he struggles on the ground. 

The community is divided as to whether the department used an appropriate amount of force. 

"Obviously you know that this man was in some type of distress," said Diana Powell with Justice Served NC. "And our law enforcement did not respond to those in distress in the proper manner." 

The Raleigh Police Department is investigating the arrest and they have notified the district attorney of the complaints.

Hall ended up in the hospital with a criminal charge after another fight with Raleigh Police back in 2016. However, those charges were eventually dropped.

He faces multiple assault charges, including assault on a government official and resisting arrest.

The law enforcement group representing the officers involved, Raleigh Police Protective Association, is expected to hold a news conference Monday morning:
