Three Local Hospital Guards Suspended For Attacking A Man

Three Grant Medical Center security officers have been suspended for allegedly assaulting a black man outside the hospital.  A video shows the guards using batons and pepper spray before shoving the man to the ground on Monday night.  The video doesn't show what triggered the confrontation, but the woman who recorded it says the man had come outside to smoke a cigarette.  She says the man did nothing wrong. The guards are suspended while hospital officials conduct an investigation.
