A police officer has been accused of using his Taser on a boy after the 10-year-old was reluctant to wash the cop's patrol car.

As a result, the victim - only identified as 'RD' - is pursuing legal action.

The incident happened during the Tularosa New Mexico Intermediate School's career day, when Chris Webb asked the group of boys he was speaking to who would like to clean his vehicle.

RD said that he wouldn't, according to a complaint filed on his behalf.

Webb was reported to have responded before stunning the boy with the Taser: "Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police."

RD's legal representative Rachel Higgins stated that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder afterwards.

She added: "No reasonable officer confronting a situation where the need for force is at its lowest - on a playground with elementary-age children - would have deployed the Taser in so reckless a manner as to cause physical and psychological injury."
