Surveillance footage captures the moment a handcuffed suspect was paralyzed after being slammed against the van of a police van before being dragged out of the back by cops in Connecticut last week.
Richard Cox, 36, who was arrested on June 19, for possession of an illegal firearm, was being transported in a van without seatbelts to the New Haven Police Department when the vehicle came to a sudden stop – tossing Cox head first into the wall.
Cox is now fighting for his life at a local hospital where he is paralyzed from the neck down and has to use a breathing tube.
Footage shows Cox laying on the floor and weakly shouting ‘help’ until the officers pulled over to scope the incident.
