A Ghanaian police officer has caused an outrage online after he was filmed brutally assaulting a nursing mother at the Midlands Savings and Loans Company in Ghana.

In the viral video which surfaced online today, the armed police officer is seen launching an attack by hitting the woman multiple times with an umbrella, while she was holding her baby.
