The police officer is said to be assigned to the Port Maria Police Station in the parish.

In the video making the rounds in the public domain, the police officer can be seen delivering blow after blow to the face and head of the woman as he repeatedly tells her to leave the yard.

He can be heard saying to the woman that she came to murder him.

The video is said to be recorded by another of the policeman’s babymother, who could be heard pleading with him repeatedly to stop.

A child could be heard crying in the background.
