After stopping detaining the Plaintiff in the store, the Modell's employee called Defendants NYPD Police Officers Boris Mirkin, Awais Mazhar, and Juan Perez and falsely reported that the Plaintiff committed/attempted to commit a larceny. Defendants then arrived at the Modell's store and placed handcuffs on the Plaintiff. The Defendants never investigated the allegations and had no legitimate legal reason to arrest Plaintiff. In fact, despite the Plaitniff's pleas to show the Defendants the video evidence vindicating her, Defendants instead decided to stop, question, frisk, search, seize, and arrest the Plaintiff. Defendants transported  Plaintiff to the 28th precinct, where they illegally searched. At approximately 7:00 pm, Defendants transported the Plaintiff to Manhattan Central Booking in an all-male population. While Plaintiff was lined up against the wall at Manhattan Central Booking, she felt ill and repeatedly requested medical attention. However, Defendants refused to do so despite knowing that Plaintiff was four months into a high-risk pregnancy. In fact, Defendants became angrier as Plaintiff repeatedly requested medical attention, with them telling her \"shut up,\" \"stop complaining,\" and forcing Plaintiff to stand against the wall for an hour. Defendants then eventually allowed Plaintiff to sit on a chair, just to aggressively yank her out of the chair by the metal chain linking her two handcuffs and causing her pain. Once Defendants yanked Plaintiff out of the chair, they mercilessly drug her by the connecting metal chain on her handcuffs and attempted to put an excessive amount of physical pressure on her hands and wrists. Defendants then yelled racially and sexually inappropriate comments to Plaintiff and described varying sexual acts that would be done to her while she was imprisoned. \n\nDefendants eventually took the Plaintiff to receive medical attention at a medical treatment center. On the way to Bellevue Medical Center, the Defendants excessively tightened Plaintiff's handcuff, causing her to shriek in agony due to the pain and swelling around her hands and wrists. Due to her screams, Defendants drug Plaintiff by the center link of her handcuffs and caused Plaintiff to nearly become unconscious. Although Plaintiff pleaded for the Defendants to stop, they responded to Plaintiff's pleas by making racial and sexual comments to her such as \"broke Black bitch\" and what sexual acts she would perform on other men. Overhearing these comments, the nearby male prisoners tried to help the Plaintiff and prevent the Defendants from doing anything to her. At Bellevue, Plaintiff received medical treatment for her fractured hand. However, while at Bellevue, some of the Defendants continued making comments to Plaintiff such as \"dirty black bitch, whore,\" with one Defendant mentioning what sexual acts they would do to other men while Plaintiff remained imprisoned. Once Plaintiff received medical treatment, Defendants involuntarily took her back to Manhattan Central Booking, where she was arraigned immediately due to her pregnancy, and injuries, and informed that she had to either plead guilty or defend her innocence for an unknown amount of time. The plaintiff believes she was ultimately forced to plead guilty As a result of the Defendants behavior towards her, the Plaintiff suffered and continues to suffer severe emotional distress, physical injury, physical pain and suffering, emotional trauma and grief,  fear, embarrassment, humiliation, frustration, extreme inconvenience, anxiety, loss of liberty, and harm to her reputation.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=aX7k_PLUS_XNkUwmXDY3VjTPXAw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Carter, Tyleeha vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-06-17","disposition_date":"2021-05-28","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"19CV05372","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Mazhar, Awais","summary":"On or about March 15, 2018, plaintiff was shopping when the store called NYPD.
