The incident happened in September but recently released body-camera footage shows the encounter between six-year-old Kaia Rolle and Florida police officer Dennis Turner in the United States.

Kaia’s grandmother told local media that the child had her mugshot taken and was fingerprinted before she was released from custody.

Officials say the officer also arrested a six-year-old boy at another school on the same day.

He charged the children with misdemeanour battery, but the state lawyer has said she would dismiss the charges.

Turner was fired for not getting the approval of a watch commander to arrest someone under the age of 12.
