Defendants P.O. Jason L. Smith, P.O. Joseph C. Sicari, and other unidentified officers detained Spann at gunpoint, directing him to lie on the ground. While he complied, the officers proceeded to kick him, pin him down with their knees on his head, and tightly handcuff him, causing cuts and bruises to his wrists. Despite being handcuffed and subdued, the officers continued to physically assault him, resulting in serious injuries. Spann was also subjected to an illegal search, which yielded no contraband. He was later transported to the NYPD-73rd Precinct and detained before being released after prosecutors declined to press charges.\n\nA similar incident occurred on August 25, 2019, where Spann was again arrested without cause near the corner of Mother Gaston Boulevard and Sutter Avenue in Brooklyn. During this arrest, the officers kicked and tripped him, causing him to fall and sustain further injuries.
