A POLICE officer unleashed a series of savage blows to the head of a teenager bleeding from a bullet wound to the neck during a brutal arrest early yesterday.
Moments after he was pulled from a mangled car wreck in Kings Cross, Sydney, shocking footage shows police repeatedly striking Troy Taylor before dragging his limp body across the street.
An officer then places a knee on the teen's blood-soaked back to handcuff him.
The 18-year-old, one of two teenagers shot by police during a dramatic chase, is then left lying in a pool of blood as dozens of stunned bystanders look on.
The teenagers, one just 14, were in a serious condition in St Vincent's Hospital last night.
The shocking ordeal began about 4am when police confronted a car carrying a group of six boys and young men on Darlinghurst Rd, Kings Cross, just metres from the famous Coke sign.
As the driver tried to escape, he drove the car along the pavement, packed with pedestrians, narrowly missing several people before hitting a 29-year-old woman.
Police opened fire on the car, hitting the driver twice, in the chest and arm, while Troy Taylor was hit in the neck.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said "people literally jumped for their lives".
"That vehicle struck a female pedestrian (who) was pushed under the front of the vehicle ... she was pinned under the car.
"In an attempt to protect that person, police discharged a number of shots.
"Whether that decision turned out to be the right decision is a matter for the critical investigation team."
