Plaintiff was standing at a platform waiting for a train when defendants approached him and began to issue him a summons for smoking.  Plaintiff denied having been smoking, as a response to which the defendants s forcefully grabbed his arms and tightly restrained him with metal handcuffs causing him pain, discomfort and humiliation.  Thereafter, he was dragged down the stairs and unlawfully searched.   Having recovered nothing illegal from his person, the defendants then uncuffed him, lifted him from both sides and threw him out of the door.  Additional defendants waiting outside the train station then approached plaintiff, surrounded him and proceeded to assault him, including banging his head against a wall, stepping on his leg, shoving him and grabbing him around his neck causing pain and injury.  Plaintiff was later transported to a precinct, where he was fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a cell.

Plaintiff was arraigned and then sent to Rikers Island.  On January 6, 2023, Plaintiff was released and all charges against him were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=6Vzg_PLUS_SoXWfX2M_PLUS_i956Uf3w==","type":"complaint"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/CWTV-joshua-christel.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"60363","regular":"59357","overtime":"13001","other":"9663","total":"82022"},"id":"CWTV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/CWTV"}
