Man assaulted and thrown into sea over alleged robbery

A video circulating on social media shows a man accused of robbery being assaulted and thrown into the sea, police said.

The footage, which began circulating last night, appears to show the man being forced to the ground and beaten by several people.

In the video, one person wearing a safety boot is seen stepping on the man’s hand.

The man is then dragged along the ground before being thrown into the sea.

Police said the incident has not been reported, but have begun investigating the matter.
