Police 'brutality' video emerges

Accusations of police brutality have been leveled against a police officer in the US after hidden camera footage which appears to him dragging a woman across the floor.

In the video, Tampa Police Officer Scott Van Treese is seen walking over to the victim as she lay sprawled beside his car.

Desperate to get her inside, the officer attempts to pick the woman up by her shoulders but she flops back down.

The officer then appears to grab the woman and drags her along the floor into the police station.

Several times the woman can be seen attempting to stand up but fails.

The suspect was arrested in October last year for trespassing and cocaine possession.

After seeing the video, Tampa Police launched an internal investigation into the incident with Mr Van Treese copping a reprimand for his behavior but no other disciplinary action.
