Video of a forceful arrest on a TTC subway train circulating on social media is leading to questions about the need for such a severe response.

Toronto police say they are aware of the video and that the “Professional Standards Unit is investigating.”

The video begins with a man seated and shouting as several officers stand by. Moments later, the officers appear to drag the man from his seat to the ground. The video shows one person kicking the suspect at least three times.

“Truthfully, if you saw any group of people like that pounding on one person, we would call that a gang assault. That’s essentially what happened. A number of cops in uniform assaulted this man in broad daylight,” said Lorraine Lam, outreach and community crisis worker.
