Specifically, the defendants fabricated allegations against the plaintiffs that they damaged the glass the front door to a Chase Bank a few blocks away.

During the drive, Plaintiff 1 started to feel light-headed. He parked his car and then passed out in a diabetic coma. PO Polanco (at the time of the complaint, Plaintiff 1 believed “Polanco” to be the name of one of the NYPD officers who arrested him; he was not certain), PO John Doe 1, and potentially other police officers, approached Plaintiff’s car. While Plaintiff 1 was unconscious, and in front of his daughter, PO Polanco or another officer opened his car door, smashed his face against the window, and threw him to the street on his head. The officers then dragged him across the sidewalk, handcuffed him, drove him to a precinct house, and kept him locked in custody, handcuffed for hours, unconscious, and without any medical treatment for his diabetic coma. The handcuffs were so tight that they were causing excruciating pain. The officers kept Plaintiff 1’s family from knowing where he was or how he was, knowing they were terribly worried and they refused his wife’s, Plaintiff 2, repeated calls to get him the emergency medical treatment he needed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.594561/gov.uscourts.nysd.594561.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66862112/portorreal-v-new-york-city-police-department/"},{"name":"Egan, Frank vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-03-01","disposition_date":"2019-06-05","payout_amount":227500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"16CV01479","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Polanco, Cesar","summary":"Defendant Officers arrived at Plaintiffs home and accused him of shining a laser from the window of the house at passing aircraft.
