A watchdog is investigating police officers who detained a 15-year-old boy who was left with severe injuries inLondon, as his mother calls for “justice”.
Terrell Decosta Jones-Burton remains in a stable condition in hospital while the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) appeals for witnesses.
A spokesperson said officers attempted to detain him as he rode through Bermondsey on Tuesday evening, following reports of a robbery.
“The cyclist came off his bicycle and sustained facial injuries,” a statement added.
“An ambulance was called and he was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.”
Terrell’s mother, Shereen Jones, said her son had been left with a split lip, lost teeth, broken jawbone, bruising on the brain and abdominal pain.

Writing on Facebook, she said the teenager “is not a thug” and had been on his way home from local shops with friends when he was approached by officers accusing him of involvement in a mugging.
“He has no criminal record and no involvement with the police,” Ms Jones wrote, using the hashtag #JusticeForTerrell.
“Was all of this necessary over a phone? Police brutality on young black boys has to stop.”
Ms Jones alleged that her son was beaten by police but Scotland Yard and the National Police Chiefs’ Council said they were unable to respond to the claim at this stage of the investigation.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said officers were called to nearby Albion Street, Rotherhithe, shortly after 9pm, adding: “The female victim informed officers that her mobile phone had been stolen by a male youth who had then fled on a bicycle.
“A short while later officers detained a 15-year-old male youth on a bicycle in Southwark Park Road.
“While being detained, the male came off his bicycle and was taken by the London Ambulance Service to a south London hospital where he remains in a stable condition with facial injuries.”
The incident comes amid persistent allegations of discrimination against young black men by the Metropolitan Police.
Five police officers are being investigated for alleged misconduct over the detention ofEdson Da Costa, a 25-year-old black man who died following an altercation in June.
Weeks laterRashan Charles, a 20-year-old black man, died after being chased by police and restrained on the floor of a shop in Dalston. An inquest into his death will be heard in front of a jury next year
Both deaths sparked vigils and protests, including one that spilled over into isolated violence, and have reignited allegations of racial discrimination in Scotland Yard.
Police are under pressure to respond to rising levels of reported crime, which rocketed by 13 per cent in England and Wales last year, including increasing knife crime, shootings, acid attacks and robberies in London.
Rotherhithe, where Tuesday’s incident took place, has seen a recent spike in robberies of mobile phones snatched from pedestrians by muggers on mopeds, bicycles or on foot.
The IPCC is appealing for witnesses to come forward by calling 0800 029 4687 or emailing [email protected]

Knife-wielding teenage moped gang jailed for 13 years for using stolen scooters to rob Londoners
A gang of four teenagers have been jailed for a total of 13 years after a series of moped-enabled robberies in London.
During the four-week trial, Inner London Crown Court heard how the teens, as young as 15, robbed members of the public of phones, wallets, handbags and laptops using violent threats.
The gang even used knives on certain occasions to intimidate their victims, and stole six mopeds which they used in their robberies, four of which were taken from the owners by force.
A 15-year-old gang member was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison at the court on Thursday (November 30) and a 16-year-old boy who was already serving a six-year prison sentence was given an additional three-and-a-half years in prison.
Another 16-year-old was given a four-year sentence.
The youths cannot be named for legal reasons.
Sitey Mairuf, 19, of Colliers Water Lane, Thornton Heath was jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Sad still, kids throwing away their lives for what?
This is disgusting though.
Quote
One of the 16-year-olds was sentenced to three and a half years in addition to a six year sentence he is already serving for manslaughter.
The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, was convicted in August of killing Vilson Meshi, 31, of Manchester.
Father-of-three Mr Meshi was asleep in the back of his Audi outside his former partner’s house in Basildon, before seeing his children from a previous relationship the following day.
The car wash boss died after inhaling fumes when a lit flare was thrown in, Chelmsford crown court was told.

I know a man who lived in Ruislip and didn't see his kids in Cricklewood for over 20 years.
Man drove from Manchester to Basildon to see his kids, obviously sleeping in his car cos of the journey and that happens to him.
That's how you know there is no justice in the world.
