This shocking video shows two German cops pinning a man, who later died, on the ground as one of them seemingly punches him in the head several times.

The video ends with the man, whom the officers were trying to handcuff, lying on the ground facing upwards, apparently motionless and with a heavily bloodied nose.

It transpired that the man was still alive at the time, but he died later in hospital. The incident took place in Mannheim, Germany, yesterday (Monday, 2nd May).

Police were first dispatched to the scene when a doctor from the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim advised of a 47-year-old patient ‘in need of help’.

It was not revealed what the unnamed patient was being treated for at the clinic.

Two officers located him at an intersection and tried to detain him, but they resorted to using “immediate coercion”, as he allegedly resisted arrest.

It is not clear what exactly transpired, but it is known that the man, whose name was not divulged in reports, suddenly collapsed and had to be resuscitated.

The doctor who raised the alarm was present with the two officers at the time, and he helped the cops to administer first aid to the collapsed man.

Paramedics were called to the scene immediately, and they took the man to the University Hospital Mannheim, where he died shortly after admission.

The Baden-Wuerttemberg State Criminal Police Office will investigate the incident and determine whether the officers in question acted within the law.

The video has already done the rounds on German social media, shocking netizens. A peaceful Kamagra 100mg protest of around 100 people took place at the scene yesterday evening.

The inquiry is underway, but police have revealed that the unnamed man was not a Turkish citizen as some social media groups were claiming.
