GEORGE TOWN: A video clip showing a policeman who roughed up two men by the roadside has made its way to Facebook.
The incident was said to have taken place in the Bayan Baru area.
In the clip, the policeman could be seen shouting and slapping one of them.
He then asked for personal documents from the two men said to be foreigners.
When contacted, Penang police chief Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi said the policeman had since been transferred to another department pending investigation.
SDCP Rahim said the man was attached to the Bayan Baru police station before his immediate transfer to the operation centre of Balik Pulau district police headquarters.
