Probe into alleged attack by Qld cops

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 14 Desember 2013 | 13.23

POLICE have launched an investigation after footage emerged showing a police officer allegedly punching a man in the face outside a Brisbane nightclub.

The footage, taken by a member of the public, shows three uniformed police officers speaking to a man down an alleyway outside The Beat nightclub on Ann St about 11.30pm (AEST) on Friday.

Bank employee Joe Ritson says he filmed the scene while waiting for a taxi.

"I had a feeling something was going to happen so I started filming it and like three seconds later one of the cops punched him in the face and I was like 'holy crap that is full on'," Mr Ritson told Ninemsn.

"They punched him, pushed him up against the wall and then started kicking him.

"The ute (in the video) kind of obscures it but you can see one of the them kneed him in the back."

Mr Ritson told Ninemsn he doesn't why the police officers had approached the man.

The footage was uploaded to Youtube, but has since been taken down.

A statement from Queensland Police said they were aware of the video and had launched an investigation.

The Ethical Standards Command has also been informed.

Brisbane Region Acting Assistant Commissioner Allan McCarthy said although police were looking into the incident it didn't necessarily mean the officers were at fault.

"This does not mean any allegations or complaints about the officers have been substantiated," he said in a statement.

"It is important not to pre-empt the outcome, however the circumstances will be investigated thoroughly to determine if the officers have acted in accordance with the high expectations of the Service."

Mr McCarthy said all officers are expected to act professionally and ethically in accordance with the service's high standards.
