The teenager, already known to the police, was taken into custody. “He said he was insulted and beaten by the police officers, adding that during the check he was unable to brake in time to avoid knocking over the policewoman.”continues the same source. “He denied all the charges.”The minor was brought before the court this weekend and will be tried at a later date.
