Victoria’s anti-corruption commission has charged two police officers over allegations of brutality after The Age published footage showing them allegedly using excessive force during a welfare check of a disability pensioner.

The Independent Broad Based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) said in a statement released late on Friday that it had charged one of the officers, a constable, with assault with a weapon and unlawful assault.
