A police officer in the British capital London was suspended from work on Friday, after footage of him showing him pressing his knee on the neck of a black man while he was being arrested.
The British police, "Scotland Yard" said in a statement that the case is now being investigated by the "Independent Bureau of Police Conduct."
Videos circulated on social networks showed two police officers forcibly holding a handcuffed man and lying on the ground by force.
One of the officers pressed his knee on the face of the man, who was shouting "Get away from my neck", several times.
Passers-by entered the Islington area of central London and demanded the two policemen to release the man.
The Deputy Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Steve House, described the video as "very annoying," stressing that "some of the procedures used ... are not taught during police training."
"A policeman has been suspended from work and another exemption from the field service, but he has not been suspended from work at this time," he added in a statement.
The man, who was examined by a doctor, was detained at the police station after his arrest on Thursday night for melee and possession of an assault weapon, according to the police.
This arrest reminds of what happened with the African-American American George Floyd, whose killing at the end of May strangled the city of Minneapolis after a white policeman put his knee on his neck, to a wave of anti-racism protests led by the "important black lives" movement in the United States, and I moved to Many European cities.
