Police say three officers have been moved from frontline duty after footage emerged on social media of an arrest in Aston.

The video was released online of a clash between officers carrying batons and a group of men on Sutton Road.

In a statement, the force said: “West Midlands Police has conducted an initial investigation into footage circulated on social media featuring officers carrying out an arrest in Aston on July 30.

Following the investigation, a decision has been made to refer the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission

“Three local neighbourhood officers – all of constable rank - will be redeployed to other work but will not be engaged in duties outside a police station.”
