Jason Harrell faces felony charges for allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old boy riding his bike in Indianapolis. The incident, captured on surveillance cameras, shows Harrell pushing and punching the teen, threatening to kill him.
An Indianapolis man is facing felony charges after allegedly assaulting and threatening a teenager riding his bike. Jason Harrell is charged with battery involving bodily injury and intimidation. According to court documents, on January 25th, officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to the 700 block of Aberdeen Drive following reports of a disturbance involving an adult male who had assaulted a juvenile male.
The complainant, Britney Schwitzke, informed police that an ongoing issue with a neighbor, identified as Harrell, had escalated. Harrell had a history of confronting neighborhood children over their use of motorized bikes on both sidewalks and roadways. According to Schwitzke, her 14-year-old son, Tim, reported that Harrell had physically assaulted him by pushing and punching him. Police spoke with the teen, who explained that while riding his bike in the roadway, he heard a vehicle approaching quickly from behind. To avoid the vehicle, he pulled over onto the side of the road, where Harrell, driving a white van, stopped next to him. Tim reported that Harrell extended his arm out of the vehicle and pushed him off his bike. After driving a short distance, Harrell turned around and returned to where Tim had fallen. At this point, Harrell exited his vehicle and pushed Tim again, causing him to fall to the ground. When Tim was on the ground, Harrell punched him in the face with a closed fist, allegedly stating, 'Stay out of the road or I'll kill you.' The incident was captured on surveillance cameras at the Schwitzke's home. As a result of Harrell's actions, Tim sustained injuries, including a painful bruise on his lip that began to bleed. Officers responding to the incident took photographs of Tim's injuries and began gathering more information. They contacted Harrell at his residence in the 800 block of Aberdeen Drive. When questioned about the incident, Harrell denied physically assaulting Tim and insisted he had only yelled at the juvenile for what he described as habitual reckless riding. Harrell was placed under arrest for his actions. His initial hearing was on Tuesday morning.
