The department said the incident happened Aug. 14. Police did not say what the man was suspected of, or why he was in the hospital.
As the officer and suspect approached the exit, the officer forcefully took the handcuffed suspect to the ground, resulting in injuries to his face, police said.
The incident was captured by three officers’ body-worn cameras.
