BART Officer, Passenger Michael Joseph Gibson, Injured in Scuffle Caught on Video

Another Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer has found himself in hot water. He was captured on video forcing the head of an unruly man, Michael Joseph Gibson, 37, into a heavy-duty glass window, which shattered, during an arrest at a passenger station, authorities said. Gibson, appeared disgruntled and gestured while on a train at the West Oakland station, is pulled off the train by an officer, who has the man in an arm grip. This could not come at a worst time for BART, which is in the middle of a criminal investigation stemming from the shooting death by officer Johannes Mehserle of an innocent man, Oscar Grant III.

The officer forcibly walks the man toward the station wall, which is topped by large windows, and one window shatters as the officer appears to force the man against it. The incident happened about 5:40 p.m. Saturday (8:40 p.m. ET), according to a statement from BART police Sunday. The officer sustained facial lacerations and a concussion, while Gibson suffered cuts to his hand, forearm, palm and a cut to his head. Both were treated at a hospital.

After Gibson was released, he was booked into the Santa Rita County jail. He faces a litany of charges of battery on a police officer with injury and resisting arrest, which are both felonies, as well as and public intoxication, a misdemeanor. The officer was placed on leave due to his injuries, authorities said. Mr. Gibson's sister says he is bipolar.
