Two military police officers attacked a recyclable waste picker in Vila Leopoldina, west of São Paulo. The assaults were filmed by a witness and the pictures show the moment when the officers kick the fallen man to the ground, striking him on the head and back. The corporation said Monday that police were removed from service and will be investigated by the Internal Affairs.

In images made by a cell phone, the two policemen attack a cartwright, with the man already lying on the ground. The PMs kick the victim, who is also hit in the face. In addition to the man, who did not have the identity informed, his wife also becomes target of the police when she tries to prevent him from continuing to get caught. She is beaten with a slap in the face.
