(CNN)Ten deputies have been put on paid administrative leave as authorities investigate the videotaped beating of a suspect, Sheriff John McMahon of San Bernardino County, California, said Friday, according to CNN affiliate KCAL.

McMahon said criminal investigations have begun into the suspect's actions and into the actions of deputies, KCAL reported. An internal investigation also has been launched

In video captured by cameras aboard a helicopter for KNBC, deputies gather around the man after he falls from a horse he was riding to flee from them. The video shows deputies using a stun gun on him and then repeatedly kicking and hitting him.

KNBC reported that the man -- identified by authorities as Francis Pusok -- appeared to be kicked 17 times, punched 37 times and hit with a baton four times. Pusok was later hospitalized, KNBC reported, citing authorities.

Glad he lived. And those cops need to be put in jail. That's assault.

Paid leave? That's some buuullll man.

Fleeing on a darn horse is hilarious though. Lol

Unlike some people who I won't mention, a victim is a victim. Doesn't need to be black for me to feel sympathy for them. But it does help

To show you if it was a black man, they would have him?

True, if he was black they would shot him.

I'd wager he was all ready to drop some knowledge, right up until he saw the picture of the victim. He has a problem if the perp doesn't fit inside his parameters of what a criminal should look like.
