A video went viral in Italy Wednesday
of Milan police stopping a Brazilian transsexual using
truncheons and pepper spray after she attacked them after
parents called them in saying she had been bothering children at
the entrance to a school in the northern Italian city.
The video, shot by some Bocconi University students, showed the
tranny being subdued by four officers on a street near the
school, before being handcuffed and dragged away.
Comments on the video accused the police of heavy-handed
tactics.
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has started investigations
into the incident, "to ascertain the dynamics and possible
responsibility".
The incident took place not far from the Bocconi, Milan's most
prestigious private university.
