Police in Michigan have been filmed repeatedly punching a handcuffed 16-year-old girl in the leg and slamming her foot in a car door as they arrested her on a runaway warrant.
The incident occurred in Lansing on Friday morning when police were called following reports the girl and a 15-year-old boy had escaped from a nearby youth detention center.
Both officers involved, Lindsey Howley and Bailey Ueberroth, were placed on paid administrative leave after cellphone footage of the arrest emerged.
The Lansing Police Department has also since released the body cam footage from both officers.
