Sinn Féin MLA Linda Dillon has said footage which appears to show a police officer kicking a young male in the head is “disgraceful and totally unacceptable.”
The Mid Ulster MLA said:
“I have been made aware of footage appearing to show a 16-year-old boy being kicked in the head by a police officer during arrest.
“This is deeply concerning and should be referred to the Police Ombudsman immediately for investigation. The PSNI must also consider appropriate action.
“I will also be raising this at the Policing Board.”
