Philadelphia officer faces discipline after threatening to beat up teen

A Philadelphia police officer who was caught on camera threatening a teenager will face disciplinary action, according to officials.

The video, posted to Facebook October 17, shows an officer walking alongside a group of teens. It is unclear where or when the incident took place, NBC Philadelphia reports.

The cop can be heard asking, “Big man, do we have a problem? Because I notice that you keep trying to make eye contact with me. Is there a problem?”

One of the teens responds, but it is hard to tell what he says.

The unidentified officer responds: “Okay, well keep f*****g walking. The next time you look me in my f*****g eye, I’m gonna beat the s**t out you!”

Philadelphia officials did not name the officer involved but did tell NBC that the officer will be disciplined.
