A video of an arrest in Brooklyn has gone viral on Facebook, causing many residents to accuse the officers involved of police brutality.
The incident happened Friday morning at the Halsey Street Station, where police say they arrested Morris Marrow, 20, on charges that included assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
The video appears to show two officers pushing a young man up against a wall as the young man yells that he is having a seizure.
Officials say they stopped Marrow when he tried to dodge a subway fare.
The three people involved were all taken to the hospital.
Police say one officer has suffered a concussion and a broken finger, while the other officer involved is being treating for injuries to his wrist and hand.
Marrow was treated and later released from the hospital.
