Perth police stood down amid inquiry over violent arrest captured on video

A fresh internal investigation is launched into three West Australian police officers who were filmed punching and kicking two people they were arresting.

The video of the December 2016 arrest in Hamilton Hill, in Perth, was played in court last month as the arrested pair faced charges of assaulting police, obstruction, and providing false particulars.

It showed the officers kicking the woman and punching the man up to 20 times.

The man involved was fined $100 for obstructing police, but the other charges were thrown out.
