DULUTH, Minnesota (CNN) -- A police officer's actions have left him on the opposite side of the law.

The police officer was in a room with a wheelchair-bound man and a staff member at a rehab center. The 50-year-old man was asked to take off his coat and ended up hitting the officer. The officer then swung back, pummeling the man to the ground.

The officer is now on administrative leave and could face an assault charge.

The man in the wheelchair was charged with assaulting a police officer.

Man I cant get enough of this video! This was like a mexican spanking.."Touch" PUNCH, "Me" PUNCH, "Again" PUNCH..haha..This man may be disabled but he hit first. Therefore the officer defended himself in a nice punching manner..You treat people the way you want to be treated!

The guy is not wheelchair bound you seen him stand to take off his jacket. He is clearly intoxicated and in a wheelchair so he does not have to be carried, or picked up every few feet.

I hope they throw this cop in jail and then we'll see what the inmates think. Where do you get off beating up a disabled? Is that something you brag about at the bar? Do you realize you're the biggest wuz in town now, copper?

Dont buy into this wheelchair sympathy crap. He was in police custody for some reason......like breaking the law. He was combative and he hit the officer and he was put down like any of us would be if we hit an officer.
