Two women were “beaten by police” as they tried to report a segxwal assault claim. The young women appeared to be helping each other walk along a street in the popular tourist town of Izmir in Turkey. An officer took a swing at one of the girls, hitting her to the ground while the other woman tried to defend her friend. The woman in a black dress gets pulled to the floor, behind a car and CCTV appears to show the policeman repeatedly hitting her on the ground.
A crowd of people rushed into the street. They broke up the fight between the women and the unnamed policeman.
But he lashed out again, hitting one of the women as another police car arrived.
Police have confirmed that they have launched an investigation into the incident. The policeman in question will face legal action if he is found to be at fault, police confirmed.
One of the victims said one of the officers reportedly claimed they had invited the harassment by “dressing inappropriately”. She said: “We wanted help from them because we could not see the licence plates of the motorbikes that harassed us.”But one of the police officers said the harassers were right because we were dressed inappropriately.”
