The deputies had taken off the prisoner's handcuffs to allow him to go to the restroom.
Taff fled the restroom and ran from the secured departure area of the terminal to the public side before he was apprehended by the officers.
The officer, whose name is not being released during an investigation, was hit in the face multiple times during the altercation. Both he and the Taff were transported to Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
