Video: NYPD Cop Clotheslines Boy Off Moving Motorbike

NEW YORK CITY — An NYPD cop ran down and clotheslined a 13-year-old boy off a moving motorbike after an unmarked police car nearly ran over the child, video shows.

The boy can be seen bleeding, crying and handcuffed in the back of a cop car in another video taken shortly afterward and given to Patch by attorney Andrew Laufer, who filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Brooklyn court for the teen and the boy's mother.

Both the boy and his mother were falsely arrested in the June 11 run-in, the lawsuit contends.

"It's pretty gross what happened here," Laufer said.

An NYPD spokesperson declined to comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit is against two unnamed officers from the 67th Precinct, a man and a woman, who drove an unmarked police car into a parking lot near Rockaway Parkway near Clarkson Avenue in East Flatbush, according to a filing.

The cops' car almost hit a boy who rode a small motorbike in the parking lot, according to the lawsuit.

"The defendants jumped out of the vehicle, chased, assaulted and battered him causing injuries to his leg and then placed him in a police cruiser along with his mother," the lawsuit states.

Video provided to Patch shows a white-shirted male officer run from the car toward the teen as the boy whirs his motorbike around the parking lot. The cop apparently uses his arm to knock the boy off the bike, according to the video.

Another video apparently shows the boy's mother being handcuffed while an officer, who is holding his elbow, contends she got in his face and grabbed him.

"This is crazy," she repeats.

"You fell chasing her son," a man behind the video tells the officer.

Laufer said charges against the woman and her child were dismissed.

The lawsuit contends the cops falsely arrested the pair and seeks an unspecified amount of damages.
