Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] [SEE Video HERE] The NYPD is investigating a claim of excessive force by its officers while they were arresting a Bronx teen, authorities said yesterday. Jorge Cartagena Jr., 19, was approached by cops in a Westchester Square deli last Friday after the officers saw him riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, according to a report.

Surveillance video from the bodega shows the teen, Jorge Cartagena Jr., saying something to an unidentified officer. The cop then whirls around, grabs the teen, and throws him into the wall. The officer's partner then helps push the youth onto the ground, where he is cuffed and arrested. ."He was slamming my head against the floor over and over," Cartagena said."I'm so hurt. They're the police. They're suppose to be there to help us," Jorge Cartagena Jr. said.
