South Africa's police watchdog is investigating the death of Mozambican who had allegedly been handcuffed to the back of a police vehicle and dragged through the streets.
Video footage taken by a bystander of the alleged incident has been shown in the local media.
A spokesman for the Police Investigative Directorate said he was "shocked" by the footage.
South African police are often accused of brutality, correspondents say.
'Dies in custody'Local media reported that police initially assaulted the 27-year-old Mozambican, a taxi driver, accusing him of parking his vehicle incorrectly in Daveyton, east of Johannesburg.
The video shows a large crowd gathering, as uniformed policemen tie him to a van, dragging him as they drive away.
He was later taken into custody, where he died, local media report.
"We are investigating an incident involving the death of man, allegedly at the hands of the police. We are shocked by the footage which has been released," Independent Police Investigative Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini is quoted by AFP news agency as saying.
"The circumstances surrounding his death are still allegations... Let's find out what really happened."
