An Indian origin man, has been put on life support with suspected brain damage, after he was violently tackled by the Australian police and allegedly kneed in the neck, a move similar to the 2020 George Floyd case in the United States.

42-year-old Gaurav Kundi and his partner Amritpal Kaur were allegedly arguing in public in Adelaide's on Thursday, according to a report by Australia Today.

A passing patrol reportedly mistook this for domestic violence despite Kaur's insistence that he was simply drunk and loud, not violent.

However, the police told 9News that he "violently resisted" arrest and later lost consciousness while on the ground.

Kaur filmed the incident and the the clip reportedly showed Kundi screaming as several officers tried to detain him against a police car.

'I've done nothing wrong,' he shouted, while Kaur filmed the act.

"I stopped filming because I panicked when the officer knelt on him," Kaur told 9News, adding that Kundi's head was slammed against the police car and the road during the arrest.

He was later taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where doctors said that he received severe injuries to his brain and neck nerves.

Meanwhile, South Australia Police have reportedly launched an internal investigation into the matter and are reviewing body-cam footage.
