Cops Punch A Woman In The Face In Los Angeles (Video)

This is shocking video footage from Los Angeles, California, that shows a sheriff’s deputy punching  a woman across the face.

With the woman struggling to escape as he pins her arms to her side, the cop pulls back an arm and punches her in the face, forcing her to lose her balance.

The video was captured on a cell phone by a bus passenger, who described the woman as having ‘special needs’.

Now, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office told the LA Times that they had received a 911 call that the woman ‘almost attacked an elderly man', and ‘they took what we believe was the appropriate action.’

The report also added that the woman has previous arrests, including charges of assaulting a police officer.
