Disturbing footage which shows a plain clothes officer beating a teenage suspect who is already handcuffed and offering no resistance is being investigated by police.
The officer repeatedly strikes the 17-year-old on the legs as he says: 'I'm a child!'
Members of the public watching the scene in Romford, east London, can be heard criticising the officer who had arrested the youngster for possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply.
