Police Investigating launched over video of policeman attacking (video)
An investigation has been launched over footage apparently showing a car windscreen being smashed by a policeman after the driver refuses to get out.
The clip, shared on social media on Saturday and viewed around 50,000 times, shows what appears to be a police officer - filmed from the position of the driver - repeatedly telling him to “get out of the car”, adding: “You're not allowed to drive it.”
No arrests were made during the incident on 16 September. Video footage apparently shows an officer using what looks like a baton to hit at the car windows of a car with the driver still inside and then saw through the glass with a blade.
A police spokesperson said they were still working to “get to the bottom” of the incident.
The officers involved are still on their normal dut...
