A Ghanaian police officer has caused an outrage online after he was filmed brutally assaulting a nursing mother at the Midlands Savings and Loans Company in Ghana.
In the viral video which surfaced online today, the armed police officer is seen launching an attack by hitting the woman multiple times with an umbrella, while she was holding her baby.
At some point, when some bystanders tried to rescue the baby from the mother, the officer repeatedly slapped and punched the helpless woman until she fell to the ground.
The disturbing video ended with the brutal officer dragging the woman out of the company.
It’s unclear what sparked the confrontation, but a lot of celebrities have condemned the attack, and are calling on the authorities to penalize the officer.
According to Myjoyonline, the officer identified as Frederick Amanor Skalla has been arrested and is currently at the Police Headquarters awaiting possible prosecution for indecent assault.
