Footage of a motorist being assaulted by Johannesburg metro police at the entrance of the Mall of Africa is being investigated.
Metro police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said an internal investigation has been undertaken and called for the motorist in the video to come forward.
The video has gone viral on social media.
A woman who recorded the video, Carmen Bell, said: “So I took this video this morning at the entrance to the Mall of Africa. As I rummaged through my bag to get my phone out, these JMPD members had already punched, pushed and kicked this person to the floor and the tall metro cop was hitting and kicking him on the ground.
“It was disgusting and so scary to watch!”
Minnaar said: “We are calling on the motorist in the video to step forward so that a full investigation can be conducted.”
