Before the arrest, the plaintiff was searching his phone at the location when he was aggressively approached by numerous NYPD officers at the defendants' direction, falsely accused of stealing from a nearby convenience store, \"Gristedes.\" The defendant officers forcefully restrained the plaintiff, violently twisting his arms and applying tight handcuffs, and used a taser on him, causing injury. They forcefully threw him to the ground and pressed their knees and hands into his back. Despite offering exculpatory camera footage, the plaintiff's evidence was ignored. Other officers present failed to intervene. Following the arrest, the plaintiff was taken to Metropolitan Hospital's emergency department for treatment of serious physical injuries caused by the defendants. Subsequently, at the 19th Precinct, he endured illegal searches and scans. The defendants later fabricated evidence and falsely charged the plaintiff with attempted robbery in the second and third degrees, resisting arrest, and other related charges. The plaintiff was unlawfully detained for over 36 hours until his release from physical custody on April 1, 2020. On January 1, 2021, all charges were dismissed in favor of the plaintiff, who suffered significant damages as a result of these wrongful actions.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=Qymf5SOTu4f1x3KXqFkOrg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"John, Kaylin Mng Peace, Yvonne, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-02-21","disposition_date":"2017-10-31","payout_amount":40000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"17CV00038","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Law, Paul S.","summary":"On August 1, 2016, plaintiffs Kimberly Brower, Kaylin John, Tyra Robinson, and Ravenne Hinds were at or near 1533 York Avenue in Manhattan when they were assaulted and arrested by NYPD officer defendants including Officers Edgar Garcia, Benjamin Paley, Johnathan Simons, Paul Law, Alex Servia, and unidentified NYPD John Does.
