Sharpton advocates for teen pushed through window by cop

The 14-year-old boy who was slammed through a Bronx window by a cop made his first appearance Saturday as his family demanded the officer be charged for assault.

Javier Payne, head bandaged and sitting in a wheelchair, was silent during a press conference at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, where advocates demanded the Bronx District Attorney prosecute the case.

Payne’s family says the scrawny eighth-grader needed 50 stitches on his side and staples in his forehead.

“All we can say is that nothing justifies these results,” Sharpton said, adding that Payne will not comment on the events leading up to the May 17 incident at Hookah Spot on Arthur Avenue.

Police say Payne assaulted a 39-year-old man after asking him for a cigarette at the Hookah bar. When an NYPD officer approached him, Payne resisted arrest, cops say.

Sgt. Eliezer Pabon allegedly pushed the eighth-grader, who was handcuffed, into the bar’s plate-glass window. Payne was seriously injured and treated at Jacobi Medical Center.

Pabon, an officer for seven years, was suspended last week after investigators reviewed footage of the incident.
