A Georgia cop has come under fire after he grabbed at a black woman while she was holding her baby and wrestled her to the ground with her pants around her ankles.
The shocking altercation was partially caught on camera by the Convington officer's bodycam, as well as cell phone video from a witness who was driving by during the incident.
It all began when Breona Bell, 21, called police on Thursday afternoon because she was locked out of her car.
In the bodycam footage, an officer approaches Bell and, after asking her a few questions, tells her she has outstanding warrants for probation violation.

Bell, who is holding her seven-month-old child, tells the officer 'I can't do that' and begins to walk back to her friend's car.
The officer starts grabbing Bell's free arm as she continues to head to the vehicle and tells her to let her friend take the child.
Bell tries to get into the passenger seat of the car as the officer continues to grab her arm. Suddenly, her baby falls to the ground.
'You dropped my baby!' she screams, picking her child up from the ground as they begin to cry.
In a Facebook post regarding the incident, the Convington Police Department said the baby fell on its 'bottom' and did not suffer any injuries.
The bodycam footage then stops, but a witness kept recording as the officer wrestled Bell out of the car (pictured)
Video that was filmed by witness Alfonso Dennis revealed that Bell's pants had fallen to the ground during the altercation
Bell can be seen picking her baby up from the ground in the video and trying to close the car door.
'You're going to jail,' the officer tells her as they continue to struggle.
'I'm not going no where,' she shoots back.
The officer continues to try and grab Bell while her says to give her the baby and then eventually grabs the child.
He then pulls Bell from the car and yells at her to 'get down now!'
This is when the footage suddenly stops, as the boycam appears to have dropped to the ground, although the audio of everything that occurs after is still captured.
Bell can be heard screaming violently as the officer wrestles her to the ground in front of her children, who are watching from her friend's car.
'Sir, that's a female!' her friend screams at him. 'Let her put her clothes on!'
Video that was filmed by witness Alfonso Dennis revealed that Bell's pants had fallen to the ground during the altercation.
The officer then put his bodycam back on, with the footage showing one of Bell's children screaming for his mother out the window of her friend's car
'I see the police just manhandling this lady and her pants are down,' Dennis told CBS 46. 'The police just grabbed her, and just slammed her, like a wrestling match or something.'
'That wasn't even professional, that was brutality,' he added. 'She was screaming, she was screaming...it sounded like a horror movie.'
'Everybody needs to see that, it could've been them.'
During the video, Bell's friend can be heard repeatedly yelling at the officer over the fact that he is continuing to wrestle her while she is half-naked in broad daylight.
'That is a whole female and you got her with her clothes down!' she screams. 'How you got her out here with no clothes on!'
The officer can be heard screaming at Bell to give him her hands while one of children continues to cry out 'Mama' in the background.
Bell's grandfather arrives at the scene and asks what's going on as Bell's friend (both pictured together with Bell's children) tells the officer 'that was just ridiculous what y'all just did'
'Let me put my clothes on!' Bell screams at him.
'Let her put her clothes on!' her friend yells.
Covington Police Department said that the officer 'continued to rustle' with Bell 'in an attempt to handcuff her but was still unable to do so'.
'The officer continued to give verbal instructions, but Ms Bell failed to cooperate,' the department's statement read.
'Moments after this occurred, a backup officer arrived, and they were able to successfully handcuff Ms Bell. The officers then raised her to her feet and her wardrobe malfunction was corrected.'
Bell (pictured) was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer and cruelty to children
The officer then put his bodycam back on, with the footage showing one of Bell's children screaming for his mother out the window of her friend's car.
Bell's grandfather then comes out of his nearby home and asks the officer what's going on. The officer tells him Bell was 'trying to fight us'.
'We were trying not to do that in front of the kids,' he adds.
'That was just ridiculous what y'all just did,' her friend tells the officer.
The officer then tells Bell's grandfather and friend that she had outstanding warrants for probation violations for a shoplifting and traffic offense.
'She was holding the baby so I was trying to get her to find somebody to take the kids,' he later tells another officer on the scene.
'She was trying to get back in the car and shut the door on me. She might have gotten a little scraped up when I put her on the ground.'
The other officer then goes to Bell, who tells him that the cop had slapped her on the ground.
Convington Police said Bell was checked out by paramedics before she was taken to Newton County Detention Center.
In addition to her outstanding warrants, she was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer and cruelty to children.
