The ordeal unfolded in front of a Starbucks in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, Illinois, on July 1.

In a short video that has since begun circulating on social media, an unidentified white man — said to be an off-duty cop — is seen pinning a young teenage boy, who is Puerto Rican, onto the ground.

The adult notably has his knee on the teen’s back and — despite other teens’ pleas for him to “get off” — tries refusing to let the 14-year-old go, alleging that he is an off-duty officer.

The unidentified man can also be heard hurling accusations that the 14-year-old stole his child’s bike, though numerous bystanders notably refute this unsubstantiated claim.

Shortly after that, the video ended, and it swiftly started making rounds online.
