Prosecutors in central France are investigating a shocking video (below) which seems to show a police officer beating a woman with a baton, and spraying tear gas directly into her face during an arrest.
The eight-minute video (see below), which has been watched more than 600,000 times on Youtube, shows the later stages of an arrest taking place on rue Pierre Coubertin in the town of Joué-les-Tours, in the Indre-et-Loire department.
According to local daily La Nouvelle Republique, the two officers had stopped a car driving erratically on the street early on Sunday morning, and found the driver highly intoxicated.
The latter became uncooperative and unruly when asked to submit to the alcohol test, and a female passenger intervened, allegedly attempting to bite one of the two officers.
The video begins with one officer attempting to subdue the driver and keep him on the ground, while the second officer grapples with one of the female passengers, striking her freely with his baton. Full story...
