A video clip showing a policeman assaulting a woman with a cane near the Ratnapura Bus Stand has gone viral.

Around three weeks ago, two women got into a brawl. A policeman on duty tried to pull them apart in order to restore normalcy. Angered by the policeman’s interference, one of the women threw a stone at the police officer. The policeman had retaliated by assaulting the woman with a stick.

An eyewitness has videoed the drama that had taken place with the help of the video camera on his phone and had then uploaded it onto the internet.  Police investigations were in progress. (Lasantha Niroshana)

    who is this cannibal ? disgrace to the entire police department -we have gentlemen in the police - in the past and in the present- he should be expelled no doubt about it.

    You will not say like this if the woman is your sister or wife

    Ra Si Tuesday, 30 September 2014 02:18 AM

    We could imagine how this policeman could have handled a minority woman.
    This is utter shame for the police dept.

    Rajarathnam Monday, 29 September 2014 02:51 PM

    You are living in a cave or jungle. US, UK police never beat or punish like this a woman

    dalubanda Monday, 29 September 2014 11:37 AM

    If this is happen in USA, policeman could have shot the woman . I feel that the Sri lanka cop is somewhat better.

    He should be send to jail. How this guy behave like this. Where is our values in Sri Lankan society...........

    Dom Monday, 29 September 2014 10:16 AM

    What the woman did was wrong.
    What the cop did was worse. As a man of power, one needs to be more responsible.

    Bren Monday, 29 September 2014 10:13 AM

    You can not beat any one , you just have to cuff them and taken them to the police in case if its difficult to stop...no one has any right to beat anyone...specially a woman.

    Also these women are very third class, how the XXX you throw a rock at a policeman who is trying to stop a fight she should be taken to courts for this and given required punishment.

    manisha Monday, 29 September 2014 10:04 AM

    Its her right to be what ever she wants. Who has the power to execute her without a proper judgement. Please be more intelligent...

    kalanasiri Monday, 29 September 2014 09:41 AM

    What about the beating up of the high commissioner to the Uak, Chris Nonis?

    Victor Monday, 29 September 2014 08:59 AM

    So stupid to say that the police karaya did the right thing. What he did was totally wrong. He should be arrested

    Wasantha Wijewardane Monday, 29 September 2014 08:50 AM

    I am a lawyer. Clear evidence of police officer violating law. He should immediately be taken into custody.

    what else the policeman could do .he has done the correct thing via DM Android App

    Ruwan Monday, 29 September 2014 06:17 AM

    Whatever it is police can't beat people like this, especially in public. It's clearly act upon anger.

    innocent until proven guilty?

    whatelse Monday, 29 September 2014 04:58 AM

    In what world is that "the right thing" to do ? I'm guessing you don't have a wife

    thunder790 Monday, 29 September 2014 04:37 AM

    Just imagine how he must be abusing his wife ?

    Nel Monday, 29 September 2014 04:11 AM

    Everyone just watching and recording the scene, no one bothered to call the police or stand against what happened.. Wow to our sri Laknas!!

    Dutchy_ Monday, 29 September 2014 04:10 AM

    Situation might have compelled police officer to use of force And he seems to have acted in good faith on behalf of public order

    whatelse Monday, 29 September 2014 04:08 AM

    He could have not beaten her pulp with a baton ?

    The God Father Monday, 29 September 2014 03:30 AM

    If the report is correct I think the policeman did the right thing.

    mount Monday, 29 September 2014 08:28 AM

    Use woman police.

    LK Monday, 29 September 2014 08:19 AM

    Yes. Stupid cop. The video of the catfight would have had far better hits on the net and would be much fun to watch.
