This is the shocking footage that shows a New Orleans police officer shove a 16-year-old girl against the wall of her holding cell as he seems to strike her with handcuffs multiple times.

Officer Terrance Saulny was fired from the New Orleans Juvenile Intake Division last month after an investigation found he used 'unauthorized force' and lied about making vulgar comments towards her.

The video footage, obtained by NOLA.com through a public records request, shows that Saulny entered the girl's cell after she kicked the door repeatedly.

Saulny can be seen getting out his restraints as the girl takes her hands out of the sleeves of her T-shirt and turns around.

The girl then turns her head back to say something to him and when Saulny gestures for her to turn around she seemingly begins to fold her arms together.

That's when Saulny pushes the girl against the wall and grabs at one of her arms before he then shoves her against a different wall and then, using both of his arms, seems to push her against it before then shoving her into the corner.

Saulny then seems to whip the girl with the pair of four-point restraints multiple times, including what seems to be at or near her face and her back.

By then another officer has entered the cell to assist Saulny, who can be seen pulling on the girl's T-shirt multiple times and seems to hit her once more before taking her to the floor and cuffing her legs and hands.

Emergency medical services and the girl's mother were both called following the incident and the investigation records state she suffered minor injuries.

But Michael Hall, the girl's attorney, claims she needed an eye surgery because of it and that she might need a second as well.

Saulny told investigators that he pushed the girl because he felt threatened and feared for his safety when she refused to comply with his directives.

'He attempted to grab her arm and tried to put shackles on her and when she resisted by pulling away he tried grabbing her arm again and her arms went up and the shackles accidentally hit one of her arms,' the record states.

Immediately after the incident Saulny notified his supervisor, who concluded after reviewing the video that he 'may have exhibited a level of force that could be constituted as exceeding the necessary tactics...to contain (the girl) during her episode of non-compliance'.

Records state the girl had repeatedly cursed at officers while she was being questioned, refused to comply with their directives and tried to kick the windows of one of the police officer's cars.

The girl, whose mother said she suffers from mental illness and wasn't taking her medication, was arrested that day for purse snatching.

Body camera footage also shows that Saulny directed profanity towards the girl.

When the girl refused to answer one of his questions, he is overheard on the footage saying 'she was going to get her mind right in the motherf*****'.

In another instance, as the girl can be heard saying a vulgarity during booking a male voice says something about 'pimp slapping (the girl) while (Saulny) told him to come on and do it', according to the record.

Saulny's attorney said he plans to appeal the department's decision.

A police department spokesman said that, after reviewing evidence, the FBI did not find probable cause to recommend the case to the District Attorney for possible criminal charges.
