I'm sure you are talking about a specific incident in a specific location, but without those facts, can't give you specific answers. Most law enforcement agencies have departmental procedures for restraining suspects and how they must be attended to while restrained, but you'd have to contact the agency that hooked you up to find out where there policies are stated.
My guess is that a single officer was attempting to apprehend more than one suspect and he handcuffed one to a tree or something and then pursued the other. Personally, I don't see a problem with that, unless it put the first suspect in eminent danger (Handcuffing a Blood to a tree on Crypt turf and then disappearing for a couple hours would be wrong).

1. WHERE does your question apply? It is bound to vary by location.
2. What do you mean by 'unattended'? Sitting in the back off a patrol car while the officer interviews witnesses would be fine.
3. What are the circumstances? If you had just been placed in cuffs an a bomb blew up nearby, the rules change quickly.
Without more information we are all guessing.

More info is needed, such as what city, state or country, where the handcuffs were place (front or back, or attached to a car, etc.), why the person was handcuffed, for how long and so on.
Your state should have a website for its assembly, House or Senate (or like branch of government) which in turn usually has links to the State Laws. For example, here in NY, one can check out http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menuf.cgi, to see what the legislature is doing and to research State Law.

Not enough information.
Was he left unattended in the middle of the Mojave Desert? In the middle of an interstate highway? In the middle of a gun battle?
Was he left unattended in a lion's cage at the zoo?

No such law. It is based on the situation. If they are left unattended too long they should have walked away.

There is no law, but there are strict department policies against such things.

look up civil rights on the internet, or your rights once you are arrested.
