An off-duty police officer is under investigation for pinning a 14-year-old boy to the ground, after falsely accusing the youngster of stealing a bicycle that belonged to the man’s own son. The incident, which saw the unnamed officer press his knee on the youngster's back while his friends attempted to intervene, was captured on video - and has since sparked outrage from the boy's family, who say their son was racially profiled by the officer.The child, identified as Park Ridge eighth-grader Josh Nieves, is Puerto Rican - and his parents say he was singled out from other kids present due to his darker skin.
