Two police officers have been caught on camera in a furious physical row after a suspect screamed out in pain during an arrest.
Shocking footage shows the NYPD cops come to blows after one is deemed to have used excessive force while roughing up a suspect.
As the man in handcuffs screams out in pain the officers confront each other, pushing and shoving as a stunned onlooker films the whole scene.

At one point they are so focussed on each other they seem completely to forget about the man they are supposed to be arresting.
He looks up, bemused, as the officers square up and begs passers by to help him.
The footage begins as the officers begin to fight so the viewer can only guess what kind of force was used by one initially to warrant the intervention from the second officer.
They duel before eventually the fight cools down and the officers continue with their arrest.
