An investigation has been launched into a video of Tshwane metro police department (TMPD) officers seemingly assaulting a man.

In a short video shared online, four officers can be seen pulling a man over a low brick wall at what appears to be a residential home.

“The Tshwane metro police department is conducting internal investigations regarding the video. However, no complaint has been formally lodged in relation to the video.
