An off-duty cop, allegedly trying to teach bullied son to fight back, was arrested for brawling alongside the boy in a scuffle with a 13-year-old student in the Bronx.

Ruben Caraballo, a Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority cop, surrendered Friday afternoon to detectives at the 43d Precinct where he was charged with misdemeanor assault.

Caraballo, 36, allegedly punched the victim, Justin Harris, in the ribs as Justin and Caraballo’s 13-year-old son, also named Ruben, became embroiled across the street from the Bronx Mathematics Preparatory School in the Soundview section.

"Make him bleed!" Caraballo urged his son during the confrontation on White Plains Road, according to Sean Harris, the victim's father.

After the first sentence I assumed the dad fought the other dad.

I was mistaken.

He wasn't fired.  He asked for a leave of absence, was denied, and he quit.  But yes, he was a Bridge and Tunnel Officer - my father worked with him

It's really a different world in some parts of this country than where I live.  Totally foreign.

It is odd he wasn't also charged with endangering the welfare of a child as is typically done in these cases. Perhaps they gave him a break knowing that misdemeanor assault won't take his gun rights and cost him his job but endangering the welfare of a child will.


Similar cases where the parent was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
