2 Metro Transit Officers Suspended After Suspect Harms Self

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Two Twin Cities Metro Transit police officers have been suspended after a man they arrested critically injured himself in the back of a squad car.

Metro Transit spokesman Howie Padilla says the man was arrested Sunday morning as part of a criminal investigation near the U.S. Bank Stadium light-rail station.

The man harmed himself after being put into the back of a squad car, and was taken to a hospital for treatment. No other details were immediately released.

The unnamed officers were placed on standard administrative leave while the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigates.
