The officers, PC Alexei Zalesskiy and PC Conor Ryan, were dismissed for gross misconduct after using excessive force on the child and lying about the incident.
The boy was handcuffed but not charged and no further action was taken.The panel found PC Zalesskiy punched the boy at least once and PC Ryan kicked him in the neck/head area and struck him in the thigh with his knee, which was seen on CCTV and police body cameras.
"The public must have confidence that when officers are required to use force to detain and arrest members of the public, they will only use the minimum amount of force necessary. "Their dismissals send a strong message that there will be serious consequences for police officers who use gratuitous violence and are dishonest about their actions."
PCs Zalesskiy and Ryan will now be added to the College of Policing's"barred list" - meaning they cannot be employed by police, local policing bodies , the IOPC or Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services.
