Puerto Rican Day Parade: Cop floored woman with single punch because he thought she threw water at him
Caught on camera: The police sergeant, circled on the left, can be seen delivering a brutal blow to a woman during the Puerto Rican day parade

An investigation is underway after a video showing a police sergeant punching a young woman in the face for apparently no reason during a parade was uploaded to the inteet.

The video was recorded during yesterday's 50th anniversary Puerto Rican Day parade in Philadelphia - where around 1,500 people were in attendance.

The 36-second clip shows a number of people milling around enjoying the festivities in the 'City of Brotherly Love'.

From the left-hand side, someone can be seen throwing an unidentified liquid towards a group of police officers.
