Howard University hospital is investigating an incident involving security officers who allegedly left a female patient lying on the ground at a nearby bus stop, according to an article on The Washington Post website.
The incident, captured on video, appears to show a male officer pushing the barefoot woman in the chair. The woman’s legs are flung in the air when the officer stops abruptly and she tumbles out of the chair. A second male officer and a female officer watched as the woman hits the ground, the article said.
A Howard spokesperson said that the matter is under investigation and that the officers have been put on leave pending the outcome.
Passersby could be heard on the video expressing concern about the woman, who was left on the ground with no wheelchair and no hospital personnel.
