AN immigration officer is one of two men in custody after a video showing a man kicking a woman to the face, knocking her unconscious on a sidewalk, went viral on social media.
Superintendent of Police Audley Peters said on Thursday that the woman is in hospital listed in serious condition.
“Police are aware of a video circulating on social media, where a female was being assaulted by two male suspects,” he told the press.
“As a result of a complaint made, two males were arrested and taken into custody. It has been confirmed that one of the males is an immigration officer. The matter remains under active investigation.”
The one minute and fifty-two-second-long video begins with the woman on the sidewalk next to a car which is parked in the road with its doors open. Another woman appears to be restraining a man who later kicks the injured woman to her head.
The person who recorded the video claimed the men dragged the woman out of her car and beat her because she allegedly hit their car.

This was a deeply disturbing video to watch. That officer needs to be fired and charged with attempted murder, convicted and sentenced. That was a brutal beating and the woman was already on the ground helpless from the first blows from the two men when one of the two came back and kicked her with such brutal force that it knocked her out cold. He treated her like she was a piece of trash. I was speechless. And this is a law enforcement officer? We are screwed.

I've for years now discontinued watching all these gruesome "real life" movies. Always surprised when people start with "and the *2nd* time I watch it...". The box office movies are sufficient, my brain doesnt need the extra filtration and scrubbing work. Glad though that the police have evidence to charge these men, hope its swift

She should have had a license to carry a fire arm. She could have defended herself. Cant believe they did this to her. These fellas get mad if you scratch their Hondas. They think they have arrived once they buy a Honda and.put rims on it.
