Video shows a man getting slapped in the face by a police officer in Spain, reportedly because the man was singing.

Translated from Spanish via Google Translate:

“They investigate an attack by a mosso on a man who was singing in the street.

The General Police Station for Investigation and Disciplinary Affairs of the Mossos d’Esquadra has opened an investigation into a service carried out by three agents early Wednesday morning in Olot that was recorded on video and in which one of the policemen is seen slapping the victim while the other two did not intervene.

The video went viral on social networks after being captured by a local resident who made the agents ugly by their behavior.

The man was sitting on the floor of Bonaire de Olot street at dawn screaming for which several agents came at the request of the neighbors. The police officers urged the victim to go “sleep it off” but since he was still on the ground, one of them insisted and ended up slapping him and when he was on the ground he said: “Have you understood? You’re going to sleep, are you feeling better now?”

Given this video and the criticism that the Mossos have received for their actions, the General Commission for Investigation and Disciplinary Affairs is investigating what happened in the police intervention.”
