Baltimore police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him, then hauled him off to the station house where they took his mug shot and fingerprints.

His offense? He allegedly rode a dirt bike on a sidewalk.

He was sitting on the bike *with the motor off* on a sidewalk in east Baltimore when an officer grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off the bike.

“Dirt bikes are illegal within city limits and pose a serious threat to pedestrians and drivers,” said police spokesman Matt Jablow.
