CCTV footage has today surfaced of the moment a policeman blows plumes of vape smoke in a clubgoer's face before strangling him until he passes out.

PC Tyler McWalter, 30, from Kinver, Staffordshire, was sentenced to eight months in prison after choking Charlie Pottow at around 2.30am while on a night out on September 14, last year.

The officer, who was off-duty at the time, last month pleaded guilty to a charge of intentional strangulation at Southampton Magistrates' Court.

And the new footage, which was played at the court, reveals the exact moment the altercation breaks out.

Mr Pottow can be seen having discussions with the bar's security in front of the officer who is inhaling a vape and gesturing towards staff.
