Sgt. Boyce put Plaintiff in a chokehold and Officers beat him multiple times. Plaintiff was taken to the 102nd Precinct and then the hospital.  He was charged with 120.5(3); 195.05; 205.30; 1192(4); 221.05; and 240.20. Six days later, Plaintiff was driving and pulled over to let a police car pass.  Instead, the police car pulled along side of him, the same officers from the previous arrest approached the car, and issued Plaintiff a summons for \"Double Parking\", which was later dismissed.  Two days after that, Plaintiff was again pulled over by the same officers who issued him a summons for a moving violation and called his physician regarding his proscribed medication. The summons was dismissed but Officers continued to harass Plaintiff. Four days later, Officers obtained a warrant for Plaintiff's arrest and search of residence. Plainclothes officers arrested Plaintiff, strip searched him in public view, and charged Plaintiff with 220.50 (2); 220.50 (3); 265.01 (1); 265.01 (2), 10-131-B (1); 140.40; and 221.05, which are still pending.

While in possession of Plaintiff's license an registration, one of the officers told Plaintiff that he was stopped because items were blocking the front windshield. The objects referred to were hanging from the rear-view mirror. An officer also indicated that he observed a knife in the hand-rest compartment, to which Plaintiff said it was used at work to peel fruit. Plaintiff was instructed to exit the vehicle and place his hands on the trunk of the vehicle. Officers kicked his feet apart and searched him. Without provocation, one of the officers grabbed Plaintiff's hands, twisted them behind his back to handcuff him, and slammed Plaintiff's body into the trunk of the car with such force that it caused Plaintiff's rib to be fractured, disc herniation, and lower back pain. When Plaintiff's wife told the officers that her husband had never been in trouble with the law, one of the officers stated that he \"couldn't see a black man without a clean record.\" At the precinct, Plaintiff was in pain and asked an officer to loosen his handcuffs. The officer responded by tightening the handcuffs. He was denied medical treatment for pain resulted from the assault. Eventually, charges against him were dismissed and sealed. After Plaintiff's release, he was admitted to the emergency room and diagnosed with and treated for a rib fracture, neck sprain, and severe back pain.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.357869/gov.uscourts.nyed.357869.12.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139388/graham-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Attiogbe, Efoe A. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-05-20","disposition_date":"2014-03-25","payout_amount":22500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV02894","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Chang, Kengming","summary":"On January 17, 2013, Plaintiff was working as a uniformed mall security guard.
