Brazil police filmed ‘shooting boy’ in Manaus
Five Brazilian police officers have been arrested after television stations broadcast a video in which some of them appear to shoot a 14-year-old-boy.
The footage - captured by a security camera in the city of Manaus - shows uniformed men pushing the teenager before shooting him in the chest.
The boy survived with several wounds and is now in a witness protection programme along with his family.
The incident happened in August but has only recently come to light.
