(Oakland, CA) -- Investigators in the San Francisco Bay Area are taking a closer look at a transit police officer's use of force during an arrest over the weekend.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer was injured Saturday night while struggling with a man at the West Oakland, California transit station.

BART officials say the officer was attempting to arrest 37-year-old Michael Joseph Gibson of San Leandro, California for yelling racial slurs and bad language at other passengers on a train.

A video of the incident that later ended up on YouTube showed the officer pulling Gibson from the train before the two of them went crashing through a glass wall.

The glass shattered and both men sustained lacerations.

The BART officer required several stitches.

Gibson was also treated for lacerations and arrested on suspicion of battery of an officer, resisting an officer and other charges.

BART officials issued a statement Sunday saying they plan to "fully investigate" the officer's use of force.
