A serving Nottinghamshire police officer's been charged with assaulting a teenage girl.
Pc Kevin Markowski allegedly carried out the attack on the 16 year old in the back of a police car while she was being detained.
The 46 year old's accused of assault by beating and non-fatal intentional strangulation of a child, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.
