New video shows Ewing cops stomp Black teen's head, kick snow in face during 2018 arrest

EWING — Two white township cops stomped the head of a handcuffed Black teenager while he lay prone on his stomach during an arrest in 2018, newly obtained footage shows.

The never-before-seen body camera videos also depict at least two officers kicking snow into the 16-year-old’s face while calling him a “p**sy” and mocking him when they find condoms in his pocket after pulling him from a shed in the backyard of a township home.

The arrest occurred Jan. 5, 2018, when police began pursuing the 16-year-old for stealing a vehicle left that morning warming up in a driveway, according to sources and footage.

The officers’ actions are being investigated by the FBI, according to multiple sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, as the teenager was subdued on the ground when the head-stomping and snow-kicking occurred.
