WATCH: Armed cop kicks, punches woman pedestrian on busy street in Iran's capital

Tehran: Atrocities against women continue in Iran where protests have been carried out since last September following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. A video has been going viral on social media where an armed Iranian cop can be seen kicking and punching a woman on a busy street in Tehran.

The video has been shared by Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad on Twitter, where an armed policeman can be seen racing towards a group of women pedestrians without any reason. Seeing him approach, the women can be seen running away, but only one lady did not run with the pack, who was then kicked and punched by the cop.

The cop also asked the woman to run away.

ویدئویی به دست ما رسیده که در آن یکی از سرکوبگران مسلح در تهران، تاریخ ۲۴ آبان، بدون هیچ دلیلی، زنی را مورد ضرب و شتم قرار می‌دهد.

فرستنده‌ ویدئو می‌گوید:
«این آقا بدون دلیل به عابران پیاده حمله‌ور شد و چون این خانم فرار نکرد با لگد و مشت، از او خواست که فرار کند.»#مهسا_امینی pic.twitter.com/t7rNDdi18U
