Talk about committing a personal foul!
Indy cops manhandled a Jets fan from New Jersey while they attempted to arrest him -- clearly overreacting while a nearby crowd of blue-clad Colts fans watched, according to a video of the incident.
A video posted on YouTube Monday shows two Indianapolis cops rushing to arrest Patrick Mallon, a construction worker from Brick, NJ.
The video shows the cops swooping in to bust Mallon, 26, who's only crime it appears is shrugging at them once they pulled up.
One of the officers pushed Mallon on the rear hood of the squad car and proceeded to cuff him. Stunned Jet fans watched in awe -- with some chanting, "ass h----" -- as one of the officers threatened to use a stun gun on Mallon.
In an interview with The Post, Mallon said he got "a raw deal" when he was arrested outside Lucas Oil Stadium following the Jets heartbreaking loss to the Colts in the AFC Championship game.
"I shrugged at him and he jumped out of his car," he said. "I never thought I'd wind up in jail."
Officer Justin Staley, of the Whitestown police department, said he pulled the stun gun on Mallon, but never tasered him, because he was resisting arrest.
