A sheriff’s deputy in Texas was caught on video assaulting a man who he encouraged to slap him.

The incident took place outside an IHOP restaurant on the Katy Freeway in Harris County on September 30, 2018.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to the area in response to reports of a disturbance.

In the video, one of the deputies is seen in the IHOP parking lot confronting a 61-year-old man, KTRK-TV reported.

The footage was filmed by a body cam worn by another deputy.

As two other deputies stand to the side and watch, the deputy tells the man: ‘Get it off your chest. Slap the (expletive) out of me and get it off your chest.’
