Khalil then observed a \"frantic\" pizzeria employee yelling/screaming at the individual with the bottles. Then, three officers, including Lieutenant Jorge Tavarez, approached Khalil with guns drawn. Tavarez pointed his gun very close to Khalil's face. Khalil asked \"Why are you pointing your guns at me?\" and the officers replied \"You are talking too much.\" An officer then handcuffed Khalil. \n\nA Slice N Co employee proceeded to mistakenly tell the officers that Khalil stole water bottles from the restaurant. Officer Tavarez then beat Khalil in the body and face with his baton. As a result, Khalil began bleeding from the mouth and sustained lacerations to his ear and facial injury. He requested medical assistance but was denied such assistance. Khalil was then taken to the 6th precinct. At the precinct, defendants falsely informed members of the DA office that Khalil had committed various crimes. Khalil was then taken to Manhattan Central Booking. The assigned prosecutor then drafted up a felony complaint against Khalil, which Officer Ozuna signed. Khalil was in severe pain and sought medical treatment upon his release. He experienced \"seizures like activity\" as a result of his experience. The complaint against Khalil was dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.468998/gov.uscourts.nysd.468998.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13349098/mckenely-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Rathod, Sagar, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-05-11","disposition_date":"2017-01-30","payout_amount":3000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"16CV02642","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Tavarez, Jorge O.","summary":"Plaintiff's Rathod and Qui were leaving a nightclub when officers unlawfully seized Rathod as he was walking down the street.
