Video footage has emerged of the moment a 72-year-old great grandmother was tasered by a policeman in the United States.
The pictures from a camera on his car dashboard show the angry exchange between Kathryn Winkfein and the arresting officer in Austin, Texas.
She had been stopped for allegedly speeding on a notoriously dangerous section of Highway 71.
After completing the paperwork, the officer, Deputy Chris Bieze, returned to Winkfein’s truck – but when she refused to sign the ticket a confrontation followed.
Next to the busy road, she was seen refusing to have handcuffs put on her by him.
He then warned her she was about to be hit with a Taser before the actual stun incident took place.
