Police officer in Chile accused of throwing teen from bridge

Authorities in Chile have arrested a police officer who allegedly threw a teen-ager from a bridge into a river bed during a protest. The 16-year-old boy was in stable condition with head trauma and a wrist fracture following the incident in Santiago, Chile’s capital, on Friday. The incident raised more concerns about police conduct since protests about a wide range of social and economic problems erupted in Chile a year ago.
