A viral video shows police officers at the back of a parked Police van throwing two persons on the floor of a Police van.

A Police officer threw a man on the floor while a second man was apparently thrown into the back of the pick van by another Police officer.

The van was parked in the middle of a road intersection with its blue and red lights flashing.

It appeared the video was recorded after Police were trying to resolve an incident involving the two men.

The shocking footage was recorded last night in Nuku’alofa.
