Poor bastard.
I couldn't imagine how terrifying it must've been for the kid, and I never want to find out.
But tbf to The Police I do feel mixed on their response here as yes they can't just be taking people off their bikes aggressively (especially a child in this case) but if the kid did match the description of the assailant then I can understand the response even if I don't agree with it. After all if the kid had've turned out to have been the culprit then we'd all be congratulating The Police on stopping a criminal in his tracks.
