Dotcom said he remained in the "red" room for approximately eight minutes before three police officers burst in.

"And then they were all over me," he said.

Dotcom said he received "a punch to the face", felt boots kicking him down to the floor and one officer stood on his hand.

Dotcom said he was then restrained by plastic ties which were painful as they were extremely tight. When he complained the police removed the ties.

Davison asked Dotcom whether computer equipment at the house was used to operate the Megaupload business, which Dotcom denied.
