While in the transfer tunnel, a man in civilian clothes approached him from behind on his left side, reached into his right-side pants pockets, removed a knife without cause or legal justification, and without identifying himself as a police officer, detained Plaintiff. He carried the knife with him every day to use it as a tool at his job. He purchased the knife from a catalogue, which did not market or describe the knife as a gravity knife. Defendant Fleischhauer arrested Plaintiff following his sergeant's order, although both the arrest and the order lacked cause or legal justification. \n\nPlaintiff was issued a summons for possession of a weapon. Defendant Fleischhauer falsely stated under oath in court papers and testified under oath in a court proceeding that the knife possessed by Plaintiff was a gravity knife. Defendant Hum falsely stated under oath in a court proceeding that the knife possessed by Plaintiff was a gravity knife.\n\n(Page 3 is missing from the complaint.)","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.425673/gov.uscourts.nysd.425673.2.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13143463/polonsky-v-new-york-city-police-department-nypd/"}],"id":"BTCK","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/BTCK"}
