Off-duty cop beats woman and walks away without being arrested

South Africa's under-fire police force faced a fresh scandal Friday after footage emerged of an off-duty officer hitting and kicking an unarmed woman.

The security footage, broadcast by the eNCA television channel, shows the man striking the woman to the ground on a petrol station forecourt before launching a sustained assault.

Two uniformed officers are also filmed at the scene, making modest, and ultimately unsuccessful, efforts to restrain their colleague.

As she falls to the ground he stamps on her head.

The two uniformed officers allow the man to leave the scene without arrest.
