Connecticut Man Arrested For Pushing 11-Year Old Biracial Boy Off A Bike: “Get Tf Out Of My Town”

A man is facing charges after allegedly pushing a child off his bike after a confrontation took place. Police said Jameson Chapman, 48, assaulted an 11-year-old boy while he was riding his bike in Deep River, CT.

The family provided police with a video of the alleged altercation. The video shows Chapman screaming at 11-year-old Daniel, and it ends with him shoving the boy off his bike.

“After watching just a couple seconds of the video I immediately went into flight or fight and jumped into my car to go look for the guy,” said Desiree Dominique, Daniel’s mother.

The boy’s mom believes this is a hate crime, and that the video proves just that. Daniel is biracial. Desiree said her son and a friend were biking in town when the man accidentally bumped into them, before taking his anger out on Daniel.

Chapman then allegedly begin to question Daniel about where he grew up, “Where did you grow up? Did you grow up in Connecticut?” Chapman said. “No,” said Daniel. “No, you didn’t. Exactly so get the f*** out of town,” said Chapman.

After the verbal exchange, Daniel was shoved by Chapman. Daniel told his mother what happened, She then called the police and showed them the video. “Daniel is afraid to leave the house. He’s terrified to leave the house,” said Desiree. Daniel has some cuts and bruises, but it’s the psychological impact Desiree is concerned about.

Chapman was charged with breach of peace second-degree, risk of injury to a child, and assault third-degree. He made bail and is due in Middletown Superior Court in July.
