The officer involved in detaining Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Tyreek Hill has been identified. Officer Daniel Torres was placed on leave after the bodycam video showed Hill being thrown to the ground after a traffic stop outside of Hard Rock Stadium.

Video and photos posted to social media showed a Miami-Dade police officer with a knee on Hill’s back as he was detained adjacent to his luxury sports car, then sitting on the ground in handcuffs.

Many people watching the Tyreek Hill police incident thought he was calling his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. But he was reaching out to Dolphins security.

Social media exploded with footage of the Dolphins star receiver being handcuffed a block from Hard Rock Stadium just hours before Miami opened the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill was seen face down on the ground as officers put his hands behind his back.
