Kuwaiti police officer investigated for expat abuse

Kuwaiti authorities are investigating a police officer who allegedly abused an expat.

The Ministry of Interior released a statement on Sunday saying it would look into the “misconduct” after a video of the alleged abuse went viral on social media.

The video appears to show a dark skinned male being made to do push-ups while a plain clothed policeman hits him on the back with both arms.

“The Ministry of Interior rejects such an act against citizens and residents,” the ministry statement says, adding that necessary action would be taken against the police officer after investigations were completed.
