ABC News has obtained exclusive CCTV and body worn camera vision of the assault, which happened at Blacktown Hospital in November 2023.
An ambulance officer who witnessed the incident later gave a statement to police, saying she also heard one of the police officers say to the man inside the hospital: “Why do you want to go home? No one cares about you."
She did not specify which officer said it.
Officer Hyde was later charged with assault for hitting the man in the head.
Officer Alo has not been charged over the incident.
Officer Hyde, who had been a police officer for more than a decade, faced a local court hearing earlier this year, where he tendered a written statement claiming he acted in self-defence.

- At least five people are dead and 87 remain unaccounted-for after a fire erupted aboard a ferry near a tourist hotspot in the Philippines province of Palawan, officials say.
Video shared by the Philippine Coast Guard on social media shows the ferry completely engulfed in flames.
"Based on the data we have right now on rescued and the casualties, we still have 87 people who are unaccounted-for," Philippine Coast Guard Captain Noemi Cayabyab told a local radio station on Thursday.
She said 42 people had been rescued and that the ship's manifest listed 117 passengers and 17 crew.
Bad weather and big waves are challenging rescuers, and sea currents have dragged the ferry several nautical miles from its initial location, Captain Cayabyab said.

- Experts are warning social media promotion of a new rib contouring surgery could fuel pressure to achieve extreme body shapes.
The procedure involves reshaping the ribs to create a smaller waist and has gained popularity among influencers.
The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons says complications can include a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) and haemothorax, where blood pools between the chest wall and lungs. It says these complications have occurred in about one in 5,000 patients.
The ABC does not suggest companies or people promoting the surgery are breaking the law.

- A dramatic escalation in shipping attacks in the Middle East war has reverberated through global markets.
The latest tit-for-tat strikes on tankers have pushed the oil price above $US100 a barrel and wiped tens of billions of dollars off the value of the ASX on Thursday.
Capital.com's Kyle Rodda says the markets are pricing in a more protracted war, where there are going to be periodic flare-ups.
Investors hoping for an imminent exit ramp have been disappointed by President Donald Trump's latest timeline for the conflict, when he said he thinks "the war is going to end immediately after the election...because they can't hold out any longer."
Meanwhile, the bond market also continues to flash red. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury bond has risen to a three-year high of 4.86 per cent in protest over US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's attempt to push down rates, with a $US6 billion bond buyback.

- The Australian share market wiped out all its gains since late July after the benchmark oil price, Brent crude, surged above $US100 per barrel.
The latest escalation in US-Iran hostilities is raising concerns the war will drag on beyond the US mid-term elections in November, which will likely keep inflation higher for longer.
There is a high likelihood the European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of Japan (BoJ), US Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will lift interest rates in response to the inflationary pressures.

- The heady days of hot auctions are fading with a slow start to the spring selling season. Instead, many sellers are opting for private treaty sales. Domain chief economist Nicola Powell told The Business "I think it does show that sellers are really adapting to the changing market dynamics. It's really challenging under the dynamics of today to create that competitive auction environment and I think what we've got are sellers are listing their homes for auction, they're testing the market and realising the depth of buyers are just not there and they're adapting, they're switching and they're switching to private treaty."

- Several small business owners have told the ABC they're being hit with extra fees from Australia post after parcels have been sent to customers. Australia Post claims the business owner did not pay enough postage and sends an invoice for "underpaid" fees after the item has been shipped.
Future parcels cannot be sent until the fees are paid, forcing business owners to pay up or risk putting their business on hold.
Fashion boutique owner Sam Kemp, based in regional Victoria, said these additional fees were unjustified and financially stressful. She set up an online survey to see whether other businesses were also affected. More than 170 businesses responded, with fees ranging from a few a month to more than 10 a week, costing businesses between $100 and $30,000.
Melbourne University professor Jeannie Paterson, who specialises in consumer protection law, said if Australia Post is claiming a fee, it's not entitled to … it would possibly mean that...
