Canadian prosecutors have dropped charges against an Indigenous chief who was punched by police during an incident over an expired licence plate.

Charges have been dropped against a Canadian Indigenous leader whose violent arrest was captured on video and decried by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as"shocking".

"Far too many black Canadians and Indigenous people do not feel safe around police. It's unacceptable. And as governments, we have to change that," he said.
