Never seen before footage of a violent arrest in a Toronto Yorkville neighborhood.

A Toronto police sergeant beats a black man during an arrest with his metal baton striking him in the chest and upper body area. It is alleged that the man gave the officer the middle finger. Few details have emerged about the arrest.

Was the use of force justified or was this excessive force?
