The Defendant officers detained, assaulted, battered, and arrested the Plaintiff in an excessive manner, maliciously accusing her of possession of a firearm. The Defendants who did not physically touch the Plaintiff but were present when other officers violated her rights failed to intervene. After the arrest, the Plaintiff was taken to the 47th Precinct and remained in custody for 24 hours until July 15, 2021. All criminal charges against the Plaintiff were dismissed and sealed on January 13, 2022.

When the two boys saw the police officers, they ran.  Eventually, the police officers caught up with the boys and ordered them to put their hands up and stand against a wall (it is unclear if this occurred inside or outside the building); the boys complied.  The police officers questioned the boys and told them to sit on the floor.  In response, M.J. and the other boy cursed at the police officers, and defendant Duffany responded by sweeping M.J. off of his feet with a kick.  As M.J. started to get up on his feet, defendant Alexander grabbed him by the arms, lifted him up, and slammed him head-first into the ground.  M.J. suffered pain and injury, as a result, and was taken by ambulance to Jacobi hospital, where he complained of a severe headache.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.538315/gov.uscourts.nysd.538315.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17231858/jones-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Robinson, Richard vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2020-02-25","disposition_date":"2022-12-12","payout_amount":110000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"022580/2020E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Duffany, Ryan J.","summary":"On May 18, 2019, plaintiff was lawfully in his vehicle in the vicinity of 1356 Hicks Street, Bronx, when defendant police officers, without any probable or reasonable cause, stopped plaintiff and requested ID and registration.
