The two officers transported plaintiff to the 77th Precinct without incident. Once the plaintiff arrived at the precinct Officer Christopher Hassan allowed an officer Nicholas Smith (Shield #23398) to process plaintiff's arrest paperwork. At the time, Officer Hassan, his partner and Officer Smith took plaintiff before a desk sergeant and searched the plaintiff. After the search, the three officers escorted plaintiff to a room in the back of the precinct on the first floor, an area where suspects are brought in, fingerprinted and their pictures taken. Plaintiff remained in handcuffs at that time. Plaintiff entered the room cuffed to the back with officers, Hassan and Smith holding plaintiff by each arm. Hassan’s partner remained outside of the room. Once inside Smith and Hassan took the cuffs off one of plaintiff’s hands and extended plaintiff‘s arms outward. Hassan, while holding plaintiff’s arm ordered plaintiff to “take off [his] jacket.” Plaintiff responded “how I am I gonna take off my jacket when you two (Hassan and Smith) are holding my arms.” Suddenly, Hassan and Smith slammed plaintiff’s face onto a desk several times. An officer who appeared to be of Asian origin (John Doe # 1) jumped onto the back of plaintiff’s neck as he was face first on the desk and applied pressure as Hassan and Smith kicked and punched plaintiff. The officers re-cuffed plaintiff very tightly. They twisted plaintiff’s wrist, elbows and shoulders and shove plaintiff head first into a series of metal bars connected to the bullpen. Plaintiff began to bleed from his wounds and asked for medical attention but was denied medical attention for hours. On October 14, 2013 Mr. Milton was arranged in Kings County where he was made to withstand the pain of his injuries until he pleaded for medical attention in tears. Mr. Milton was then taken to Kings County Hospital for medical treatment. Mr. Milton made several appearances at the Kings County Criminal Court until the matter was finally dismissed and sealed. Mr. Milton sustained a number of sprains and strains swelling about the face and neck, cuts and lacerations about the face and body, a black eye and more.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.354438/gov.uscourts.nyed.354438.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139058/russell-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2018-04-16","case_no":"2018-18862","penalty":"Vacation days (3 days)","charges":[{"desc":"Abused his authority in that he stopped a person known to the Department without sufficient legal authority.","disposition":"Guilty"}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22119454-953421_11212019_2019035pdf","date":"2019-11-21T00:00:00.000Z","type":"trial-decision"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21029031-smith-954dc6ff5d3f469316d37369649dacb337f3e606","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21066743-smith-953421","type":"brady-giglio"}],"payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115753","overtime":"43589","other":"19659","total":"179001"},"id":"5TG9","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/5TG9"}
