Eyewitness news 4 June - two Sandton police officers are under investigation for assault and wrongful arrest.
Both of the incidents were captured on CCTV camera and show white Bryanston resdent Ashley Cerqueira pulled over, assaulted and pepper sprayed.

The first time they claimed inaccurately he was drink, shortly thereafter they claimed he possessed illegal marijuana.

Cerqueira said the cops wanted his cellphone because he had recorded a conversation in which they were trying to shake him down for a bribe.

The independent police investigative directorate spokesman Moses Dlamni said the matter was being investigated. They have taken over the docket from the police.

Mr Cerqueira was NEVER charged for any offences.
