Video of UWO arrest causes stir

Accusations of police brutality are being leveled at city police and the University of Western Ontario’s campus police after a video surfaced on YouTube showing six officers beating a suspect during an arrest.

But city police and university officials say the “disoriented and violent” suspect “was combative and resistant” after campus police tried to arrest the 22-year-old who had barricaded himself in an upper floor office of the Social Sciences building.
