A Philadelphia police officer has been caught on video punching a woman in the face, after she threw water on him during the city's Puerto Rican Day Parade yesterday, the Raw Story website reports today (October 1, 2012).
Video of the incident dated September 30, 2012 -- and titled "Philadelphia Police Brutality" -- was uploaded by YouTube user Gisela Valentin yesterday.
One officer in a white shirt can be seen running over to the woman and punching her in the face as she is walking away, laying her flat on her back with her mouth bleeding. The woman is immediately handcuffed and taken away.
More than 1,500 participants -- including performers, local celebrities, and youth groups -- gathered in Philadelphia on September 30 to celebrate Puerto Rican and Latino heritage, according to the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation.
