Police officers were caught on camera savagely beating a black music producer after they accused him of not wearing a face mask.
A criminal inquiry has been launched following the 13-minute attack on the head of Black Gold Studios – who asked to be identified only by his first name Michel.
Michel said he was repeatedly called a 'dirty n*****' during his ordeal on Saturday evening.
Police originally arrested Michel for not wearing a coronavirus face mask, and he faced assault charges.
Michel spent 48 hours in police custody before doctors were able to examine.
He suffered a torn tendon and a gash on his head that needed to be secured by two staples, among other wounds.
