　　原文：Berlin police investigate five officers for allegedly beating man

　　BERLIN (AP) -- Police said they are investigating whether five officers used excessive force on a man whom they allegedly hit and kicked at the German capital's World Cup fan center.

　　The officers hit the man in the face early Sunday and kicked him in the stomach before leaving him, according to a police report.

　　The 21 year old was treated for stomach pain before being released from the hospital. He was not arrested.

　　"The force was extreme, which is why they are under investigation," police spokesman Michael Merkle said. The department is investigating whether the officers intended to cause the man bodily harm, Merkle said.

　　The man, whom police would not identify, was reportedly drunk and refused to leave Berlin's Fan Mile, where hundreds of thousands have gathered to watch World Cup games on big screens. He cursed the officers, witnesses told police.

　　There has been little trouble around the fan area. Wednesday's Poland-Germany match drew 500,000 to the big screens, with less than 100 arrests for minor offenses, police said.
