A Jersey City police officer was injured during the arrest of a 17-year-old boy who refused to get out of the way of a street sweeper cleaning up after the Everything Jersey City Festival in the Heights on Saturday, officials said.
The Charles Street boy was arrested at 8:35 p.m. at Central Avenue and Griffith Street and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, failure to disperse, and obstructing a roadway, reports said .
When an officer asked a group of skateboarders at Hutton Street and Central Avenue to move for the sweeper they all complied, except for the Charles Street boy who said, "(Expletive) you. I (expletive) live over there," reports said.
The officer told the boy he was under arrest, but when he approached him, the teenager pushed the officer in the chest and ran away, reports said.
Several police officers chased the boy into the Burger King parking lot where he was arrested, reports said.
