It is also alleged that one officer kicked him in the neck area while the other kicked him in the back.
It's claimed that they used unnecessary force to detain the male.
If these allegations are proven, the conduct would amount to gross misconduct for which dismissal would be justified, say police.
The misconduct hearing will take place between Monday February 14 and Friday February 18 at Thames Valley Police Headquarters in Kidlington before al legally qualified chair.
