JACKSONVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) — A Jacksonville Sheriff's deputy, who was still on probation, was fired after he was caught on camera hitting a handcuffed woman.

Akinyemi Borisade, 26, has been charged with battery.

Footage released by the sheriff's office shows Borisade striking 31-year-old Mayra Martinez, who attempted to kick Borisade as she was being restrained and checked into a jail.

The incident began Wednesday after authorities responded to a dispute at a Jacksonville bar. Martinez had been asked to leave the bar, but refused to do so. Officials arrested her on charges including trespass.

The sheriff's department said Borisade could have handled the situation differently without striking Martinez.
