HONOLULU (AP) — Two more Honolulu Police Department officers are facing federal charges stemming from a September game room assault of two men while on duty.

Hawaii News Now reports (http://bit.ly/1LtPiu4 ) that a total of three officers went to the game room looking for someone. Officer Nelson Tamayori and Reserve Officer Joe Becera have been charged for submitting a police reported that omitted Officer Vince Morre’s assault. The two men stood by the door during the attack.

Morre is shown attacking two other men on surveillance video.

Charging documents say Vincent Morre punched, kicked and assaulted one of the men with a chair and punched and kicked the other man.

Morre pleaded guilty as charged last week and resigned from the department.
