Hannah Cohen [traveling home to Chattanooga with her mother after treatment for a brain tumor at St. Jude hospital] set off the metal detector at a security checkpoint at the Memphis International Airport, and she was led away for additional screening, reported WREG-TV.
“They wanted to do further scanning, (but) she was reluctant — she didn’t understand what they were about to do,” said her mother, Shirley Cohen.
Cohen said she tried to tell agents with the Transportation Security Administration that her 19-year-old daughter is partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed and easily confused — but she said police kept her away from the security agents.
The confused and terrified young woman tried to run away, her mother said, and agents violently took her to the ground [bloodying her as her head hit the ground].

[Ms. Cohen] was arrested and booked into jail.
Authorities eventually threw out the charges against Hannah Cohen
