PER CURIAM:
 

  This appeal is from the grant of qualified immunity. The defense was asserted by a motion per Rule 12(b)(6). Taking the allegations of the complaint as true, we conclude that the District Court’s decision to grant the motion amounts to a reversible error. We note, among other things, that the complaint never asserts that Defendant Hill identified himself as a law officer or that Plaintiff knew he was a law officer before the arrest.
 

  We express no view about whether qualified immunity might yet bar this action by grant of summary judgment or otherwise when more facts come out as the record is developed.
 

  VACATED and REMANDED.
