Cop Drags Mentally-Ill Woman By Shackled Ankles

By Sky News US Team

Footage has emerged of a woman with a mental illness being dragged down the hallway of a court by the shackles around her ankles.

A sheriff's deputy has been placed on restricted duty after the clip was filmed on Monday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dasyl Jeanette Rios is seen in the film sobbing and pleading with the officer as she is pulled along by her feet.

The incident has been condemned as "criminal".

The 28-year-old can be heard to shout: "You are hurting me."

Clearly distressed and trying to hang on to a sign, she goes on: "I hate my life. I wish they would kill me already.

"Why do I have to be alive?"

The video was recorded by attorney Bill Gelin, according to local media.

Rios had just been declared mentally incompetent during a trespassing and criminal mischief case.

Officials said she had argued with a female deputy when deputy Christopher Johnson intervened.

Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has questioned the conduct of the officer and said the internal affairs unit would investigate.

Public defender Howard Finkelstein called the act criminal and said he was furious when he saw the film.
