Kye Husain, the Black teen who was handcuffed as police broke up a fight at a New Jersey mall, spoke out about police treatment amid an internal investigation.
The 14-year-old who was handcuffed by police as they broke up a fight at a New Jersey mall is speaking out about the incident, which prompted an internal investigation over the police's apparent treatment of the Black teen.
In a viral video of the incident, police are seen responding to a fight between the teen, Kye, and another teenager at the Bridgewater Commons Mall in New Jersey on Feb. 12, but after breaking up the fight, police only handcuffed Kye, who is Black.
Kye, who is only being identified by his first name at the request of his mother, told GMA3 that the experience has been "stressful" for him and he didn't expect his story to get national attention.
"It's been kind of weird thinking about, like, how I was treated differently based on the color of my skin," he said.
