'You spit and I'll f****** hurt you': Footage emerges of policeman repeatedly punching a suspect as three other officers hold him down *** Disturbing footage has emerged of a policeman repeatedly punching a suspect in the back as other officers hold him down. The incident is understood to have happened in Ruislip, west London earlier this year, after officers reportedly rugby-tackled the man to the ground. The video made by a witness shows the shirtless suspect being pinned to the floor by four officers on a pavement outside a row of shops. As officers shout at the man to put his hands down, one of them punches him at least six times in the back. The man, who calls out in a foreign language at one point in the footage, shouts 'please, please, please' as the officers hold him down. An officer is heard shouting; 'You spit and I'll f****** hurt you', as the man is pinned to the ground. A policeman tells the suspect he is under arrest for assault and tells him to 'shut up' as he calls out in pain. The footage then shows the man, who gives him names as 'Gustavo', being helped to sit up and put into the back of a police van. The witness who filmed the incident said: 'He wasn't going anywhere, they already had him face down on the ground. I thought "can they do that?" 'It went on for a long time and the man was obviously in pain. He was saying: "I can't breathe". One of them then put his knee in his back. 'I don't know what had happened before I started filming but someone said the man had stolen something from a shop.' The Metropolitan Police have been approached for comment. | Daily Mail Online
