Photo: SuppliedThe police watchdog is now investigating a policeman's actions at an out-of-control Christchurch party. An officer was caught on camera calling a woman "skanky" before shoving another man to the ground, after he swore at him in response. The incident was filmed as officers tried to quell a party of about 200 revellers at Ilam late on Thursday night. However, the officer filmed in the video can be seen trailing behind his colleagues, who earlier moved up the street to arrest another person.
