A video of an arrest of what witnesses called a "drunk" male on the campus at the University of Western Ontario, Wednesday (Oct. 14), is getting some local attention on YouTube.
The video was sent to LondonTopic.ca anonymously and shows university police restraining a male suspect in a hallway of the Social Science centre at Western.
The incident took place at around 5:30 p.m., according to one commenter on the popular video site.
Four officers are seen restraining the man, repeatedly shouting at him to "stop resisting." The number of officers increased to six as the incident progressed.
Just past the 10 second mark of the video, one officer can be seen kneeing the suspect several times in the lower back, and at the 20 second mark, a second officer repeatedly strikes the suspect with a billy-club like object for approximately 10 seconds.
Some who watched the video on YouTube viewed the actions of officer as police brutality, while others were more lenient, wondering what the suspect may have done prior to his arrest.
No information regarding the arrest or the incident had been issued by authorities at the time of publication.
