JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A video taken during the Georgia-Florida game

It's unclear from the video what sparked the altercation, but two police officers in uniform can be seen punching two different participants at the Florida-Georgia game.

At the start of the video, an officer appears to put one of the fans in a headlock while a witness shouts, “Why are you hitting him?”

Later in the video, the same officer can be seen hitting this fan multiple times in the back of the head.

A few steps further, two more police officers can be seen holding another fan before one of the officers also starts hitting them.

The video ends with the officer who hit the fan in the back of the head standing next to them as their head points toward the ground.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responded to News4JAX's request for comment on the video with the following statement:

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Professional Standards Division is aware of circulating videos of the Georgia-Florida football game. Administrative reviews of the incidents are underway. Therefore, the agency will not comment until all facts are known and reviews are completed.
