Believing they intended to steal his moped, the plaintiff, frightened, left the drive-thru and drove away, eventually running on foot. When the plaintiff could no longer run, he surrendered by laying on the ground with his hands behind his back. However, the NYPD officers immediately began to kick, step on his face, and punch him without cause or justification. The plaintiff was not resisting arrest or threatening the officers in any way that would justify their assault and battery on him. Subsequently, the plaintiff was maliciously prosecuted.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=Y9CPiCBRtvOVkCoz7zypRg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Zeigler, Terrence vs Police Commissioner Bratton, William, et al.","start_date":"2017-10-18","disposition_date":"2019-03-12","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"17CV03811","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Alban, Melchor J.","summary":"On December 12, 2016, plaintiff was in his apartment with his mother when the parole warrant squad entered the apartment to make an arrest.
