Catch Fade: Off-Duty NY Cop Arrested For Beating Up His Son’s Bully

Police Officer Arrested For Assaulting His Son’s 13-Year-Old School Bully Police officer or not, there are just some things that you just can’t do as a grown man, fighting your son’s bully is definitely on the list… Via NYDailyNews An off-duty cop, allegedly trying to teach bullied son to fight back, was arrested for brawling alongside the boy in a scuffle with a 13-year-old student in the Bronx. Ruben Caraballo, a Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority cop, surrendered Friday afternoon to detectives at the 43d Precinct where he was charged with misdemeanor assault. Caraballo, 36, allegedly punched the victim, Justin Harris, in the ribs as Justin and Caraballo’s 13-year-old son, also named Ruben, became embroiled across the street from the Bronx Mathematics Preparatory School in the Soundview section. “Make him bleed!” Caraballo urged his son during the confrontation on White Plains Road, according to Sean Harris, the victim’s father. Justin’s father had this to say about the incident: According to Harris, after the two boys briefly scuffled, they broke apart, and Justin began walking away. Caraballo pushed his son on top of Justin, re-instigating the fighting, and then Caraballo allegedly threw a hard punch of his own at the youngster, striking him in the ribs, Harris said. What Caraballo did was “cowardly,” Harris said. “I try to bring up my kids in an upstanding way. We must act like we have a sense of humanity, and not resolve things like he did,” Harris said. So, this guy beat up a teenager just because his son was too p***y to defend himself? SMH. F**k the police. Image via Shutterstock/News12
