The incident happened in a suburb in Brisbane’s north, after police were called out to a residence for an alleged domestic violence incident.
The video shows a distressed mother questioning why her 16-year-old son is being forcefully arrested, when the officer pushes her four times in an increasingly aggressive manner while yelling at her to "sit down".
The young man can be heard screaming in pain as he is being handcuffed and led out of the residence.
