A shocking moment caught on video shows an undercover cop suddenly tackling a teenager off his bike, leaving bystanders stunned and demanding answers.
The incident took place in a quiet neighborhood, where the teen was reportedly riding his bike when the plainclothes officer — without any visible police markings — ran up and slammed him to the ground.
Within seconds, backup arrived, and the boy was handcuffed while still on the pavement. Witnesses say he appeared confused and was yelling that he “didn’t do anything.”
The video has since gone viral, with millions watching and questioning whether the officer used excessive force.
Police later stated the teen was a suspect in a string of local thefts — but the aggressive arrest is now under internal review.
“That didn’t look like de-escalation. That looked like a takedown,” one witness said.
