The cop, who was wearing a helmet to protect his head, slapped an elderly man twice around the face despite the fact there seemed to be prior physical provocation.
The unidentified holidaymaker appeared to yell "Hijo de puta" which in English would translate as "Son of a bitch" before being slapped.
Despite the video footage appearing to identify the police officer as the aggressor, the elderly tourist is understood to have arrested.

Migrant ‘tried to kidnap a little girl, 10,' while living in 3-star taxpayer-funded asylum hotel in leafy suburb
Edris Abdelrazig was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl while she was with her father KIDNAP CHARGE Migrant 'tried to kidnap a little girl, 10,' while living in 3-star taxpayer-funded asylum hotel in leafy suburb Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MIGRANT from a taxpayer-funded asylum hotel has been charged with attempting to kidnap a child, The Sun can reveal. The Sudanese man appeared in court accused of attempting to swipe the girl of ten while she was with her father. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Edris Abdelrazig, 30, in Stockport, Gtr Manchester, was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl on July 13. He had been living in a three-star, £100-a-night hotel in leafy Manchester suburb Wilmslow. Prosecutors say he travelled two miles south, where he made the attempt at taking the child near the Walnut Tree Playing Field. Abdelrazig appeared before JPs on July 15. He was remanded in custody to appear at Manchester crown court on August 26. It comes after claims of a cover-up because police told councillors in Nuneaton, Warks, to avoid disclosing that two suspects in the rape of a 12-year-old girl were asylum seekers. Warwickshire county council's leader, Reform UK's George Finch, said he had written to the Home Office to demand all asylum seekers be moved elsewhere. A Government spokeswoman said: 'Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and justice delivered.'

Man Utd transfer suddenly collapsed after negotiations descended into farce
A bizarre sequence of events saw Manchester United miss out on one sought-after transfer target after 'impostors' attempted to hijack the deal with farcical demands The Ander Herrera transfer saga of 2013 was a unique situation that saw Manchester United miss their target for the strangest of reasons. The Red Devils were known to be in pursuit of the former Spain midfielder when three agents sought to hijack the transfer. David Moyes, who was United manager at the time, said the deal collapsed due to Athletic Bilbao 's extortionate demands over the fee. However, fans could hardly believe their eyes when reports emerged suggesting the move was actually off because 'impostors' claiming to act on United's behalf had arrived at Athletic's offices offering to pay his buyout clause on deadline day. The details were like something out of a Hollywood script rather than transfer negotiations. So many will have been even more shocked to hear Herrera himself confirm that truly was the reason his move to Old Trafford never materialised 12 years ago. "I didn't even know them," the 35-year-old said on the UTD Podcast in 2022. "I know my lawyers and I know my agent. It is the same agent as when I was 18. They [hoaxers] were trying to make easy money – I don't know how. "I think they wanted to be there if the negotiation was successful, they wanted everyone to think that they were the ones who did it and, maybe after that, they can have more players or more negotiations. "But I didn't even know them, honestly. It was funny because some of my friends say, 'Your lawyers are in La Liga and they are going to pay the money,' and I said, 'No, they are not my lawyers. I do not know them.'" La Liga sources appeared eager to downplay the 'impostor' aspect of the storyline at the time, insisting the three lawyers, Rodrigo Garcia Lucas, Alvaro Reig Gurrea and Guillermo Gutierrez, were indeed working for United. Moyes added more intrigue when the Scot admitted that the collapse was due to the club feeling "the buyout was the wrong valuation." After missing out on Herrera, United instead rushed through a £27.5m deadline-day deal for Marouane Fellaini from Everton. The Herrera debacle went down as one of the more obscure transfer failures witnessed in modern times as United endured a slow summer of business under Moyes. There was a sentiment United were under-prepared in navigating the complexities of Spanish football's transfer system at such a late juncture in the window. Lucas, Gurrea and Gutierrez were the same three lawyers responsible for orchestrating Javi Martinez's blockbuster move to Bayern Munich in 2012. However, while that deal had been drawn up over the course of a month, they were attempting to execute Herrera's 2013 transfer in a matter of days (at most). Herrera, now playing for Argentinian giants Boca Juniors, moved to Manchester the following year after Louis van Gaal replaced Moyes at the helm. And United facilitated the move by transferring funds so the midfielder could trigger his own buyout clause. The Basque icon made 189 appearances for United, the same number of outings he managed for Athletic across two separate stints. He won the Europa League, an FA Cup and one League Cup during his time in England before joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019.
