WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – Two videos made public in federal court in Newark show a Paterson police officer brutally beating a patient at a New Jersey hospital.

In a video, the patient lying in his bed at St. Joseph's Regional Hospital tells the officer "do it" before the officer slaps the man twice across the face, so hard that blood sprays onto the bed.

Former Paterson officer Ruben McAusland was sentenced Wednesday to more than five years in prison for drug dealing and assaulting a hospital patient. McAusland was on duty and in uniform during the March 18, 2018, incident.

The 27-year-old ex-Paterson officer had pleaded guilty last June to possessing drugs with the intent to distribute and depriving the patient of his civil rights.

Prosecutors say McAusland distributed heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and marijuana on multiple occasions to someone who was cooperating with law enforcement.

The hospital patient, identified as Andrew Casciano, has filed a $4 million lawsuit against the city.

Police officer Roger Then recorded video of the assault with his cellphone. Then has pleaded guilty in the hospital assault.
