The Police officer who assaulted a customer at the Midland Savings and Loans, Lance Corporal Fredrick Amanor has pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault after he appeared in court.
The officer was arraigned before Circuit Court 10 which is presided over by Judge Ameley Quaye. His charges were read to him.
After his plea of not guilty was taken, the court remanded him into police custody to reappear on August 9, 2018.
The police officer is seen in a video striking the woman, who was holding her baby, multiple times on the head, first with an umbrella.
The policeman punched her powerfully in the face after he was asked to drive her away.
Social media was rife with outrage when the video of the incident went viral on social media.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) ordered for his arrest after watching the distressing video, according to the police public relation unit.
His action has been condemned by many civil society organisations.
