A Florida police officer is being investigated after bodycam footage captured him punching a suspect who was handcuffed to a hospital bed.
The shocking video shows Broward County Deputy Jorge Sobrino forcing David O'Connell to lay on the bed before punching him and twisting his arm behind his back.
O'Connell can be heard screaming in pain during the altercation, and later begs a nurse to stay in the room with him and Sobrino.
'These f*****g cops are beating my a** bro, please have the door open bro,' he pleads.' You know there's abusive cops out there. Please just have somebody else in here with me. They keep beating my a** bro.'

Sobrino confronted O'Connell, 26, at a Walmart in Pompano Beach on January 1 on a report of a domestic disturbance.
He arrested O'Connell on a charge of resisting without violence and took him to Broward Health North to be evaluated for injuries he sustained during the arrest.
O'Connell can be heard telling Sobrino that he doesn't want to be at the hospital and wants to sign out.
'Hey, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here,' he yells at him. 'I wanna sign out!'
Sobrino then closes the door of the hospital room and orders O'Connell to 'shut up and sit down'.
'Now you're going to f*****g close the door and beat my a** again,' O'Connell tells him. 'F**k you! Now you think you're all big now because you're a f*****g cop?'
That's when Sobrino throws O'Connell's legs on the bed, punches him in the face, and forcefully twists his arm behind his back.
Sobrino then approached O'Connell, who had been begging to leave the hospital, and forced his legs onto the hospital bed

Later in the footage Sobrino can be seen pointing to the camera, making it clear he was well aware he was being recorded the entire time.
O'Connell's attorneys said he had repeatedly told Sobrino he did not want medical attention but was still placed in an exam room and handcuffed to the hospital bed, according to WPLG.
He then told medical staff that he did not want to wait for a doctor, but a nurse continued to collect his vital signs
