You will need to use the storeURLToFileDocument action in the Community Commons module on the Marketplace.

You will need to build the full URL as the user_image is missing the domain name and protocol, before you pass it into storeURLToFileDocument. You will also need to create an instance of your Image entity to pass into storeURLToFileDocument. This method doesn’t create thumbnails, but it does download the image and it’s usable in your application.

Hope this helps.
