Remember that time 78-year-old Harry Whittington apologized to Vice President Dick Cheney for being shot in the face by him?
A Seattle teen shown on video shoving a police officer who then punched her in the face has apologized to the officer in a private meeting.
Seattle police say Officer Ian Walsh accepted the apology Friday.
Separately, the King County prosecutor charged the 17-year-old girl as a juvenile with third-degree assault, which is punishable by a maximum 30 days in detention.
The incident happened Monday as the teen was intervening in a friend's arrest for jaywalking. James Kelly of the Urban League of Seattle says he requested Friday's meeting between the teen and the officer at a community center to help calm the situation.
Police have said the department's civilian-led Office of Professional Accountability is investigating the 39-year-old officer's actions.
