Defendants who were present but not physically involved failed to intervene. After arrest, he was taken to the 77th precinct, where he was confined in a dirty, overcrowded cell. Despite repeated pleas for a mask, he was assaulted by several officers in an area with cameras turned off, subjected to further illegal searches, and sexually harassed and assaulted.
