So my idiot little bro, 16, hit two parked cars while reaching for his phone.  The street was narrow and he went to the next intersection where there was a spot to pull over.  While he was assessing his car and calling mom, a man came running around the corner yelling for him "to get on the F'ing ground or be tazed."  At that my bro just turned and started running away, the man was not a cop or have any property involved in the accident.  He proceeded to chase my bro, and when the Sperry's started to slip, the guy caught up to him and tackled him to the ground.  The result was a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident and a dislocated shoulder (right side) from being tackled not the accident.  My question: Is it legal to apprehend and assault a minor for leaving the scene?  I feel like my parents should go after this yahoo for assault.  Granted the kid was in the wrong, but to be threaten with a tazer, chased and tackled seems a bit much.
