Published on

Western Cape Police Management has appointed a senior official, to institute an investigation into the conduct of 2 police officials from Fish Hoek, captured in a video involved in an altercation with a member of the public.

The video is currently doing rounds on various social media platforms.

According to preliminary findings, the 2 policemen in the video had responded to a complaint about a missing individual.

The SAPS internal investigation will focus on whether the members had flouted any disciplinary prescripts that relate to the conduct of police members.

One of the police officials captured in the video has opened a case of assault at the Fish Hoek police station against the man in the video.

The man in the video has been sent to a medical facility for treatment and he too opened an assault GBH case against the police officials. IPID has confirmed it is also investigating.

The SAPS management would urge that space be given for investigations into the incident to unfold. Once the internal probe is finalised the outcome will be made known.
