An elderly dementia patient was paralyzed and died six months later after he was body-slammed into an ER floor by police, in a horrifying moment caught on film.

Military vet Carl Grant, 68,  had been taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, in February 2020 after trying to enter a house he wrongly thought was his.

Policeman Vincent Larry pushed him down the stairs of the house’s porch and took him to the hospital for gashes on his forehead from the fall.

Then, after he had been treated, Grant, a US Marine Corps Veteran, wanted to leave and refused when Larry advised him not to. 

Horrifying surveillance footage showed Larry then throw him to the floor in a ‘hip toss’ that landed him hard on his back and wrecked the spinal cord in his neck.
