A police officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has been charged with battery after he repeatedly punched a woman in the chest while she was in handcuffs.
The officer Akinyemi Borisade, 26, has been fired, according to Undersheriff Pat Ivey.
Video released by the police department shows Mayra Martinez, 31, being attacked by the officer after she struggles and attempts to kick the officer.
Martinez, a bar worker at Scores on University Boulevard in Jacksonville, was arrested at around 5pm on Wednesday and was charged with trespassing and resisting police.
According to the police report, Martinez was drunk and belligerent when two officers, including Borisade, attempted to remove her from the bar where she worked after she quit on her first day.
She tried to kick and bite the attending officers, according to the report.
Sheriff Mike Williams said in a press conference: 'There are ways that this could have been dealt with without striking her.

'He could have turned her around and held her in a transporting position that they are trained in.'
The woman was not transported to the hospital.
'He could have stood there with her, but there was no need to strike her.'
The shocking video begins with a handcuffed Martinez walking towards towards Borisade who pushes her back against a wall.
Martinez then lifts her leg and appears to kick the officer and he launches into an attack of at least three punches to her stomach and chest.
Borisade, who was hired by the force in March 2015, holds the woman against the wall until another officer puts his arm on the officer's shoulder.
The woman is released and slumps to the floor.
At least two other officers and other bystanders witness the attack but do nothing to intervene or help the woman.
In the rest of the video Martinez is left alone on her knees.
Corrections officers who witnessed the incident reported it to their supervisors, and it was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Integrity Unit.

The video ends with the woman slumped on the floor with her hands handcuffed behind her back
