Sky News published this video item, entitled “Nine-year-old girl pepper-sprayed by US officers” – below is their description.
Warning: This footage shows a distressed nine-year-old girl being handcuffed and pepper-sprayed by police officers.
Police officers responding to reports of ‘family trouble’ have been suspended after they pepper-sprayed a handcuffed child directly in the face.
Body-cam footage shows an officer demanding the little girl stops ‘acting like a child’.
Officials in Rochester, New York, would not confirm how many officers had been sanctioned, but said the suspensions would last at least until an internal investigation is completed.
