Defendant officers awoke Plaintiff Stewart with a chokehold and headlock, forcefully grabbed him by the back of his neck, and repeatedly struck and punched Plaintiff Stewart in the jaw, face and body without cause or provocation. Defendant Officers applied handcuffs too tightly, causing Plaintiff Stewart pain in his hands and wrists. Defendant Officers were observed proceeding from various other locations around the Plaintiffs’ house into Plaintiff Stewart’s room to strike him multiple times each, with no apparent law enforcement purpose.\nPlaintiffs were transported to the 120th Precinct, where they were charged with violations and crimes they did not commit. While at the Precinct, Plaintiff Stewart, multiple times, requested medical treatment. Defendants ignored and mocked Plaintiff Stewart’s requests, threatening him with extended detention if he received medical treatment. Plaintiffs were held in police custody for approximately 35 hours before their release. On May 30, 2013, all charges against Plaintiffs were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal at their arraignments, and dismissed and sealed approximately 6 months later.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920141-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.356189.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920142-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323355/stewart-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"O'Brien, Brendan","disposition":"Zero Disposition","start_date":"2012-12-10","disposition_date":"2016-04-06","court":"Supreme Court - Richmond","docket":"103242/2012","name":"Dibenedetto, Joseph, et Al vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":0},{"officer_name":"O'Brien, Brendan","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-09-04","disposition_date":"2014-07-14","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","docket":"12CV06466","name":"Brace, Beatrice vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":5001,"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919711-Brace-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919710-Brace-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8123753/brace-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"O'Brien, Brendan","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-07-18","disposition_date":"2013-08-19","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","docket":"12CV03227","name":"Smirnov, Alexander vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":30000,"summary":"Officer stopped and searched Plaintiff in front of his home and recovered a legally prescribed Alprazolam pill.
