A police officer has been accused of “shoving” a nine-year-old boy as he left Saturday’s March for Palestine with his parents, leaving him needing hospital treatment.
In a video of what appears to be the aftermath of the incident seen by openDemocracy, the boy’s parents ask the officer why he pushed their son and in response he says they had brought their child to a “violent protest”.
The child was taken to hospital where medics confirmed he had suffered a soft-tissue injury on his shoulder, according to his parents Abu and Saheema – who have asked us not to use their surname.
