Hong Kong protests: Police to investigate 'beating' video
Local TV showed images of officers beating a handcuffed protester on Wednesday in some of the worst clashes since the protests began.
Hong Kong's security chief said the officers had been "temporarily removed from their current duties".
The incident occurred as police cleared an underpass near government buildings.
The police advance came when protesters blockaded the underpass after being cleared out of other areas of the city on Tuesday.
Overnight police used pepper spray and batons to remove protesters from Lung Wo Road which they said earlier had to be cleared as it was a major thoroughfare. They also arrested 45 people for "unlawful assembly".
