This is the shocking moment that three security guards for Miami-Dade Metrorail body slammed a woman on the platform in an apparent dispute over her fare payment.
The incident occurred on February 11 at the Government Center station, where fellow rider Ingrid Love filmed the encounter.
A spokesperson for Miami-Dade says the three security guards are contractors who no longer work for the county, and that the woman was not arrested or charged, according to the Miami Herald.
The video doesn't show what led to the confrontation, which was well underway as Love began filming, though she said it apparently started over an issued with the woman's fare.
The security guards were trying to handcuff the woman when she tried to climb a divider
The guards grabbed the woman and slammed her on the platform floor
The woman is seen struggling as two security guards attempt to handcuff her. 'That could be your mother,' a bystander is heard yelling.
As the woman climbs up onto a bench and tries to climb up a divider on the platform, one of the guards grabs her and slams her to the platform.
The guards pin the woman on the ground with her hands above her head for a time, before managing to handcuff her and sit her up.
The video ends when one of the guards tells the person filming to stop blocking the door to the train and either get in or get out, and the train leaves.
Love, who filmed the encounter, expressed her outrage over the incident on Facebook.
The woman continued to struggle as the guards pinned her to the floor
Finally the guards handcuffed the woman and eventually sat her up on the floor
'I hate to sound like I'm playing the race card but had this been a middle-age white woman trying to get home from work who had a little dispute about a $2.25 fare, it wouldn't have ended this way,' Love wrote.
'We need someone who can shine a bright light on these kind of injustice. I'll be making many phone calls and other communications today. This kind of garbage cannot stand!!' she continued.
The guards were employees of U.S. Security Associates, a Georgia-based firm that Miami-Dade County contracts with to provide security for the Metrorail system.

On Friday, Karla Damian, spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works department, told the Herald that the guards no longer work under the contract and the county was sorry.
'First and foremost, the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works would like to express its sincere apologies to our rider and her family for the incident that occurred,' she said.
'It has been made very clear to county employees, and contracted employees, that our residents and visitors are to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The guards involved in the incident have been permanently removed from DTPW's security contract,' Damian continued.

A...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
