A Miami-Dade police officer was viciously assaulted and knocked unconscious in department headquarters Tuesday night by a suspect while booking him into jail, authorities said. The inmate had just been fingerprinted around 7:45 p.m. when the unidentified officer issued verbal commands, which were ignored, police said. As the suspect begins to resist, he is backed into a corner inside a room. At one point, the officer falls to the floor and continues to take multiple punches while unconscious, police said.
