Nelson Santos, 42, is accused of striking a man in the face and assaulting him with his knee and leg in September 2018 while he was a DART officer.
DART spokesman Mark Ball said Santos was fired in November 2018.
Santos was arrested in Southlake on Saturday and booked into the Tarrant County jail on the Dallas charge, Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department chief of staff David McClelland said.
Court records in Dallas county show Santos was indicted Feb. 21.
