The Defendants grabbed Plaintiff, threw him onto the ground, and kicked him in the back. The Defendants then handcuffed Plaintiff, injuring Plaintiff’s left wrist and right elbow in the process. Defendants took Plaintiff to the 9th precinct where he was photographed, fingerprinted, and placed in a cell for hours before being transferred to the hospital. Once he was done being treated, Defendants once again took him to the 9th precinct. The officers at the 9th precinct told Plaintiff that he was forcibly seized because the officers mistakenly thought that Plaintiff was involved in some type of “gang war.” They were mistaken and there was no evidence or indication that said theory was accurate. Plaintiff was then transported to New York County Criminal Court where he was held for thirteen more hours before being brought before a judge. He was charged with Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Obstructing Governmental Administration. He was released from Arraignment Court after being in custody for more than 36 hours. Plaintiff was forced to expend monies on medical care because of Defendants’ actions and assault and lose several weeks from work and suffered a loss of wages therefor.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=TAtXY4YFnXx/RHhfArFljA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Anthony, Arion, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-11-12","disposition_date":"2017-02-13","payout_amount":27500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV06364","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Lee, James","summary":"Defendant Officers pulled over Plaintiff's car allegedly for a broken tail light.
