Two US police officers have been fired after videos emerged showing them kicking and punching a handcuffed black motorist during a routine traffic stop.
Officer Robert McDonald and Sergeant Michael Bongiovanni were terminated less than 24 hours after two videos of the incident surfaced on the internet.
One video shows Officer McDonald kicking motorist Demetrius Hollins while he is handcuffed on the ground.
The other, filmed by a witness from another angle, shows Sgt Michael Bongiovanni striking Mr Hollins in the face as he exits his car with his hands up.
The officer said he remembered detaining Mr Hollins at a previous traffic stop and the man was allegedly found with a loaded gun, according to the CNN.
The Gwinnett County Police Department has described the revelations uncovered so far as "shocking".
"We are fortunate that this second video was found and we were able to move swiftly to terminate a supervisor who lied and stepped outside of his training and state law," the department wrote in a statement.
Criminal investigations have been launched into the incidents.
