London: A British police sergeant faces losing his job after he was caught on CCTV injuring a woman by pushing her into a cell.
The policeman was shown dragging the 59-year-old woman across the floor of the police station in Wiltshire before shoving her into a cell.
CCTV footage captured her lying on the floor for a minute before struggling to get up with blood pouring from a head wound.
Sergeant Mark Andrews was eventually convicted of assault causing actual bodily harm after a trial earlier this summer.
He will be sentenced on Tuesday and is expected to lose his job.
The case was brought after another officer at Melksham station reported his behaviour to a supervisor.
It happened in July 2008 when the woman was arrested after being found asleep in her car. She was detained for failing to provide a sample for a breath test.
