Madison police today released video of officers throwing a 57-year-old Indian citizen on the sidewalk outside his son's home.

The incident left the grandfather temporarily paralyzed and hospitalized with fused vertebrae.

Chirag Patel said his father, Sureshbhai Patel, was visiting to help his wife care for their new baby, a 17-month-old son, so he could pursue his masters degree in electrical engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Madison police officer Eric Parker today turned himself in to face assault charges.

Chief Larry Muncey told a small press conference in Madison that he also recommended that Parker be fired for his use of force against a man who committed no crime, did not speak English and could not understand the commands.

Patel's family and attorney say he suffered swelling to his spine and required surgery to fuse two vertebrae. He remains unable to use all of his limbs.
