Shocking moment California woman is punched to ground by male cop who then kneels on her HEAD after she fled shop she'd 'burglarized,' crashed her car and 'resisted arrest'.

A video showing a California police officer dragging a woman from her car and punching her to the ground after an alleged burglary has gone viral on social media.

The shocking footage shows the end of a car chase after a business near the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center was burglarized on Friday, the Vallejo Police Department told KRON4.

Police allege that the suspect was driving recklessly and crashed into a truck in the area of Auto Mall Pkwy and Admiral Callaghan Lane.

The suspect, wearing jeans and a white sweater, then resisted arrest and tried to escape, according to police.

The video, taken by a civilian in a car, shows an officer pulling the woman out from the car door, slamming her against the nearby truck, before pulling her to the ground and punching her in the face. The officer then restrains the woman and sits on her head.

After the woman is handcuffed the officer picks her up from the floor and forcefully walks her away from the camera.

Both the woman and the police officer were injured in the arrest, police told KRON4.

The suspect was injured from the car crash, and the officer was injured from trying to arrest the woman. The woman is currently in police custody, authorities said.

The name of the suspect nor the officer involved in the arrest has yet been released.
