The 12-year-old boy, stood together with the protesters at the scene and began to run away from the accused, like most of the other protesters.
Marciano is accused of grabbing the boy, pushing him hard against a stone wall that is in place and knocking the 12-year-old to the ground.
While the child sat on the ground and shouted again "I did nothing", without resisting or doing any other action, the defendant slapped him in the face - without any reason or justification.
The indictment states that the defendant then noticed a demonstrator holding a cell phone in his hand and documented the transport of the child by another police officer.
Marciano grabbed the demonstrator's back, pushed him hard and knocked him to the ground, towards bushes in the area.
