Incensed officers shoved Correa around earlier, pelted him with water and doused him in tear gas when he tried to speak at a police barracks in the capital.
Hours after Correa was roughed up, surrounded by rebel cops in a police hospital, the president declared himself "practically captive."
Correa, 47, was hospitalized after being nearly asphyxiated by the tear gas.
The government declared a state of siege, putting the military in charge of public order, suspending civil liberties and allowing soldiers to carry out searches without a warrant.
