A 9-year-old girl was handcuffed and pepper sprayed by police officers responding to a call of "family trouble" in Rochester, New York, on Wednesday, according to Rochester Deputy Police Chief Andre Anderson.

Two body camera videos of the incident released by the police department on Sunday show officers restraining the child, putting her in handcuffs and attempting to get her inside the back of a police vehicle as she is heard repeatedly crying and calling for her father.

Officers are then seen pepper spraying the girl after she doesn't follow commands to put her feet inside the car. The officers were told the girl was "suicidal" and that she had "indicated that she wanted to kill herself and she wanted to kill her mom," The girl tried to flee from officers, Anderson said, and video released by police shows an officer chase her and attempt to provide assistance.

At one point, one officer says, "You're acting like a child," to which the girl can be heard responding, "I am a child!"
Later in the video, a female officer is seen talking to the girl, eventually saying, "This is your last chance, otherwise pepper spray is going in your eyeballs." About a minute later, another officer can be heard saying, "Just spray her at this point." The female officer is seen shaking a can that appears to be pepper spray and the child continues to scream.
