Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was pulled from his sports car by Miami-Dade County police officers during a traffic stop.

Hill was pushed onto the ground face-first, handcuffed and then forced to the ground despite his complaint that sitting on the curb caused pain in his surgically repaired knee.

Officer: "Keep the window down or I am going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out".

Hill 's teammates Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell stopped their vehicles after seeing Hill in handcuffs and tried to speak to officers, but they were told to leave.

Hill was accused of punching his girlfriend in college and got kicked off the team at Oklahoma State University , later pleading guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation.

Prosecutors in suburban Kansas City declined to charge Hill after an alleged domestic violence incident involving his fiancée and their 3-year-old child.
