The shocking scenes were captured on mobile phone footage and show a group of burly police officers roughly manhandling Anastasia Vasilyeva, as they try to arrest and drag her into the police station. In the ensuing struggle, a woman can be heard shouting at police “instead of catching criminals you arrest doctors”, before Ms Vasilyeva is punched by an officer and collapses unconscious. She is then filmed carried away by a group of men, with people shouting at the police to take her to hospital.
