A cop who was filmed roughly arresting a student in school lied afterwards by saying the child had assaulted him then admitted making it up but has claimed it was an 'accident'.
Angel Marrero was filmed pushing the boy against the wall of his school in the High School of Commerce in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December.
When he filed his report, he said the boy, who has not been named, assaulted him by pushing him in the torso. He claimed he had been assaulted and arrested the teenager, who has not been named.
Surveillance footage of the incident which circulated on social media however disproves his claim.
It clearly shows the boy walking past Marrero and turning to make a comment towards him.
Angel Marrero was filmed grabbing the unidentified student by the neck and pinning him against the wall on December 3
