Initial footage of the incident was released earlier this week on Facebook, and police claimed the teenager ‘collided’ with the police car, SBS reported.
The new footage, shot from a different angle, shows the teen being hit by the car.
When he began to seize, police turned him to the side, as he continues to convulse, and is then handcuffed.
He was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital for treatment.

CEO of Ngalla Maya Aboriginal Corporation Mervyn Eade, told NITV News that WA police had a long history of incidents involving Indigenous people.
Gerry Georgatos of the National Indigenous Critical Response Service, also told NITV News that the police officers involved should be stood down.
West Australian police claimed the teenager was being sought after for questioning after people in the area complained about ‘suspicious activity’, SBS reported.
Daily Mail Australia contacted West Australia Police for comment.
