Police have launched an investigation into the dramatic scenes of a man being tasered and kicked on Brighton seafront after The Argus passed the footage to Sussex Police. In the video, the man, who was later arrested for shoplifting, appears to be kicked forcefully in the leg after receiving a shot from the Taser, which discharges 50,000 volts.
