Video reveals the horrifying moment a corrections officer slams inmate's head against a concrete wall

Dramatic video has revealed the moment a corrections officer smacked a suspect's head against a brick wall - leaving him with a bloody injury that needed stitches.

Officer Charles Broaderick, 41, was arrested, charged with assault and locked up for just 13 minutes following the attack on James Duckworth at the Marion County Jail in Florida on October 8.

Broaderick and two other officers questioning Duckworth, who had been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, claimed after the incident that the had been combative and needed to be restrained.

But the newly-released video reveals that Duckworth was not combative and even complimented an officer, calling him 'a gentleman', before the attack, WKMG reported.

Broaderick can be heard telling him: 'You're being treated how you're acting. You're acting like an [expletive], you're being treated as an [expletive].'

Duckworth is then seen making a spitting noise as he attempts to clear something from his lips.

'You don't spit at officers,' Broaderick yells.

He grabs Duckworth's head and slams it against the wall as the other officers help him hold the man. Broaderick can be seen pinning Duckworth's head against the wall as their questions continue.

Duckworth then slips in and out of consciousness as medical staff arrive to help and give him stitches. Blood can be seen smeared across the wall.

Authorities launched an investigation and concluded that Broaderick crossed the line and broke the law, WKMG reported.

The arrest affidavit for the officer claims that Duckworth did not physically resist in any way and that Broaderick always had control by holding onto his shirt.

The officer was arrested on Tuesday and spent just 13 minutes behind bars at the jail. He was released after posting $2,000 bail.

The sheriff said he is taking this behavior extremely seriously. Broaderick has been placed on unpaid leave while the criminal case goes forward.

'Employees of the Marion County Sheriff's Office are expected, and required, to maintain the highest level of integrity and accountability in our dealings with the public - including inmates incarcerated in the Marion County Jail,' a statement noted.
