WASHINGTON — Howard University officials have fired two campus police officers and their supervisor after video showed officers dumping a woman from a wheelchair outside the university’s hospital.
Gabriel Adegoke, president of the Metropolitan Campus Police Officers Union, says a male and a female officer were terminated. A male supervisor, who ordered that the patient be removed from the hospital, was also fired.
The Washington Post reports the incident occurred last month. In the video, a male officer appears to be pushing a barefoot woman in the chair. Her 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 watch as the woman hits the ground.
Adegoke says the second male officer was not terminated.
