Footage filmed in UK shows policeman punching suspect multiple times while 3 other officers hold him down (video)

If you think it's only in the third world that civilians suffer assaults at the hands of law enforcement, think again. Disturbing footage believed to have been taken earlier this year in West London has emerged of a policeman repeatedly punching a suspect in the back as other officers hold him down.

The video shows the shirtless suspect pinned to the ground by three policemen and yelling in pain as a fourth rains blows on him.

The man, who calls out in a foreign language at one point in the footage, shouts 'please, please, please' as the officers hold him down.

An officer is heard shouting; 'You spit and I'll f****** hurt you', as the man is pinned to the ground.

Police officers in the UK are allowed to use force in carrying out their duties, as long as it is 'absolutely necessary' and 'reasonable and proportionate' in the circumstances.

The witness who filmed the incident said:

'It looked like he wasn't going anywhere, they already had him face down on the ground. I thought "can they do that? It went on for quite a while and the man was obviously in pain. He was saying: "I can't breathe". One of them then put his knee in his back. I don't know what had happened before I started filming but someone said the man had stolen something from a shop.'

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was awarded the 2018 Ballon d'Or on Monday, becoming the first player not named Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to earn the honor since 2007. Modric, 33, beat out Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann, respectively, for the illustrious prize. Both Ronaldo and Messi had won it five times apiece over a 10-year run, and all three men were named to France Football's 30-player shortlist in October. Messi's fifth-place finish is his worst since 2006 and it comes despite leading Barcelona to La Liga and Copa del Rey titles. The midfielder adds the award to his list of others accolades received this year, including UEFA Best Player, FIFA Best Men's Player and the Golden Ball at the World Cup. Modric helped Real Madrid win its third straight Champions League title earlier this year before taking Croatia to its first World Cup appearance. Croatia's captain scored two goals, had one assist and led the tournament in minutes played and mile
