The police watchdog is examining video footage in which a man is repeatedly shot with a stun gun by officers before being punched several times.
The 40-year-old man is seen apparently rolling around the floor in agony as he is hit with a shock of several thousand volts at least twice as police try to arrest him in Nottingham city centre.
Video contains NSFW language.
Another officer then appears to hit the suspect repeatedly around the head or shoulder, in video footage shot on a mobile phone.
Nottinghamshire Police has referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission after admitting the public "may be concerned" about it.
There's another video, with commentary, here.
