David McArthur said Raleigh police went after him rather than his assailant.

A Triangle NAACP leader said he wanted police to investigate complaints by two African-Americans that they were physically assaulted by Raleigh officers.

David McArthur said a Raleigh officer shoved him into a wall after McArthur said he told the officer to do his job. McArthur had called 911 because he said his car was chased down Interstate 40.

Tanika Robins said police arrested her a week ago after telling her to leave a Raleigh nightclub. She said police scratched and bruised her as officers put her in a squad car.

McArthur has filed a formal complaint with the police department while Robins has not. NAACP leader H.B. Pickett said today at a news conference that he wanted an investigation.
