CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Three officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were disciplined after a man was stopped for traffic violations, had his front windows busted out and his elbow fractured while being arrested.

The incident happened in December when three CMPD officers driving in an unmarked car stopped Anthony Caldwell driving a white Mercedes sedan.

Caldwell, his girlfriend and brother were driving in the area of Billy Graham Parkway and Tryon Street when he was stopped.

Video of the incident shows the car full of officers got behind Caldwell, activated their blue lights and followed Caldwell at a low speed into the parking lot of a nearby hotel. A total of 45 seconds elapse between the time the lights first come on and the time Caldwell stops.
