Police have withdrawn an anti-violence campaign image amid suggestions it depicted "police brutality".
The picture, tweeted by Devon and Cornwall Police, was pulled after users said it appeared to show a riot officer hitting someone lying on the ground.
It was taken down about an hour after it was first published on Thursday afternoon.
The force said the image was meant to show "one drunk person attacking another".
It said it had removed the original tweet after "taking on board feedback from the public."

I wonder how often drunks hit each other over the head with billy clubs?
