LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - An Indiana prison inmate is suing the city of Lafayette and one of its police officers, accusing the officer of assaulting him as he was handcuffed to a hospital bed.
Tyler J. Collins' federal lawsuit alleges the officer repeatedly hit him in the face without provocation following his November 2011 arrest for attacking his ex-girlfriend.
Collins was brought to a Lafayette hospital after that arrest because he had a cut on his head from a previous fight.
Lafayette police say an officer struck Collins after he tried to grab the officer's handgun from its holster and squeezed the officer's fingers, causing him "extreme pain."
The Journal & Courier reports Collins is serving a 3 ½-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to battery in his girlfriend's attack.
