A suburban Pittsburgh police officer faces preliminary hearings on charges he assaulted an employee at a McDonald's restaurant in October and another man in September.
Washington County District Attorney Steven Toprani says 26-year-old Derek Dayoub is charged with simple assault, official oppression and harassment in both incidents. Dayoub has not commented and is suspended from the Smith Township police department.
Toprani says Dayoub threw a man headfirst into the rear tail light of a car then emptied a can of pepper spray on him without being provoked.
Dayoub had previously been accused of squeezing a pressure point near the McDonald's worker's collarbone during a dispute. The nerve hold caused the 19-year-old worker to collapse.
Dayoub's hearings are scheduled Tuesday.

Why are all the comments erased? This guy should never be a cop again. Wake up Springdale.
