Two cops have been fired after being filmed brutally beating a suspect then doing a celebratory chest bump.

The shocking footage shows the officers holding the man down, punching him and kicking him in the head more than a dozen times.

As he lies motionless on the concrete the officers move away - and bump each other in the sick celebration.

Suspect Nicholas Blume had only been stopped for a traffic violation at the time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when he was beaten up.
