Without probable cause or reasonable suspicion to believe he had committed any crime or offense, officers threw the plaintiff up against a car, handcuffed and maced him. Three other plaintiffs started to record the officers' acts on their cellphones. Then, a police officer ran toward a second plaintiff, threw him to the ground, took his cellphone and handcuffed him. After the second plaintiff was on the ground and handcuffed, a police officer punched him squarely in his face several times while other officers kicked him. A third plaintiff was rushed by an EMT worker who smacked his phone out of his hands. Police officers too rushed the third plaintiff, threw him to the ground, and began punching and kicking him. Officers punched him in his face several times. A fourth plaintiff became scared and stopped recording. As he stood silently witnessing the attacks, officers handcuffed him for no lawful reason. Upon information and belief, officers purposefully damaged plaintiffs’ cell phones in an effort to prevent recovery of the footage. Officers ultimately arrested all plaintiffs, without legal basis.  \n\nPlaintiffs were taken to the precinct, where the officers falsely informed employees of the DA’s Office that they had observed Plaintiffs commit various crimes including felony assault, and prepared false paperwork including an arrest report. Plaintiffs were arraigned and, after being held for approximately 24 hours, were released on their own recognizance. The charges against Plaintiff 2 were dismissed in their entirety on May 31, 2013. After returning to court approximately nine times over the span of nearly 15 months, the other three plaintiffs accepted adjournments in contemplation of dismissal on March 13, 2014. Plaintiffs suffered damage as a result of officers’ actions. The complaint names the following NYPD officers as defendants: PO Robert E. Andersen, PO Salvator LoPiccolo, Detective Victor Falcon, PO Anthony Nuccio, PO John Anastasakos, PO Luis Gonzalez, Sergeant Viet Cao, and POs John and Jane Doe 4 through 10 (the names John and Jane Doe being fictitious, as the true names were unknown at the time the complaint was filed).","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.354859/gov.uscourts.nyed.354859.13.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6294284/iglesia-v-lopiccolo/"},{"officer_name":"Anastasakos, John","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-12-03","disposition_date":"2017-05-16","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","docket":"022460/2012","name":"Gomez, Madeline an Inf By Fng Gomez, Jose vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":131700},{"name":"Del Valle v.
