Although neither plaintiff nor the men were yelling or creating a disturbance, plaintiff was approached by several unidentified uniformed police officers.  The officers asked plaintiff and the two men what they were doing; plaintiff responded that nothing was going on and walked into the deli.  At least one of the officers followed plaintiff into the deli and questioned plaintiff in an aggressive manner.  Then, more officers entered the store and surrounded plaintiff. One of the officers pushed plaintiff up against the wall and told plaintiff he was being arrested.  When plaintiff asked what he was being arrested for, one of the officers struck him multiple times in the back with a baton and another officer punched plaintiff in the face at least twice. Plaintiff was brought to a station house, where his arrest was processed and he was examined by EMTs, who brought plaintiff to a local hospital for examination before returning him to the precinct.  While plaintiff was under arrest, Officer Suzanne Forste completed arrest paperwork falsely claiming she observed plaintiff yelling and screaming, causing a loud crowd to form, and refusing to stop when asked.  Officer Forste forwarded the false allegations to the Kings County District Attorney, who charged plaintiff with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.371936/gov.uscourts.nyed.371936.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13242487/hughes-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Jeffers, Jeffrey vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-05-20","disposition_date":"2015-05-06","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"14CV02925","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Forste, Suzanne","summary":"On March 27, 2014, at approximately 8:00 P.M., plaintiff was arrested and taken to the police precinct.
