Handcuffed FIU student seen hogtied by officers in North Miami Beach

New police body camera video shows officers hogtying a Florida International University student while he was in handcuffs, a practice his attorney is calling controversial.

On Feb. 25, 25-year-old Matteo Falcinelli refused to leave Dean’s Gold Gentleman's Club in North Miami Beach after a security guard escorted him out, an arrest report said.

Falcinelli, who is from Italy, then touched and pushed two North Miami Beach Police officers in the chest, demanding his money back, the report said. After several commands to stop, officers took him to the ground and arrested him.
