Three security men assault Uber driver at Sowutuom

There is public outrage on social media after a video of three security men allegedly assaulting an Uber driver went viral on Sunday.

The video shows the three men said to be police trying to arrest the driver of a blue Suzuki Alto, who is said to have tried to overtake other cars at Sowutuom, in Accra.

The man, who tried to resist the arrest, was dragged out of his car by the officers, leading to a scuffle between them.
