New Orleans Police Sgt. Justin Vitrano was issued a summons Tuesday alleging one count of simple battery after Vitrano, in a marked police vehicle and in uniform, hit a 19-year-old boy in Metairie, authorities said.
"We have no motive (so far), " said Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. "He got out of his car and began striking the 19-year-old."
The incident occurred about 3 p.m. in the 3600 block of Cypress Street, he said.
The boy, Steven Fayia, refused medical attention, authorities said.
"The New Orleans Police Department is cooperating fully with the investigation and Vitrano, if deemed necessary, will be reassigned during the investigation, " said Officer Janssen Valencia.
