An armed British police officer has been filmed kicking a man in the head as he lay on the ground in an incident that has been denounced as an example of police brutality.
In a video widely shared online, armed police can be seen pointing Tasers at a man lying on the ground, before one officer begins kicks and then stamps the man in the head.
One female officer suffered a broken nose and the other officers were forced to the ground and suffered injuries which required hospital treatment, a statement from Assistant Chief Constable Wasim Chaudhry said.
The statement said that a police officer had been removed from operational duties and that the force was making a voluntary referral of our policing response to the Independent Office of Police Conduct.
