A man says he was 'beaten up by police' after giving a homeless person some change.
CCTV footage from a friend of Samuel appeared to show a man on the floor being hit by a man in an alleyway
The student told the BBC he had stopped to give change to a homeless person when a man in a hoodie, who he later realised was a police officer, ran towards him. He said: "As I was walking off, I just felt something walking towards me. It was a white man in a black hoodie."So I'm thinking I'm just going to be arrested or whatever, but I was hit, and hit, and hit, and I was thinking 'this is unbelievable'."
They said the stop was made after a person was seen to exchange a package, which was suspected to be related to potential drugs supply offences.
