At approximately 10:30PM, Mr. Pajoohi awoke to the sound of banging on his front door. Frightened, Mr. Pajoohi instructed his family to stay in their rooms and he walked to his front door. The officers had repeatedly kicked the front door causing damage to the door and the chain locks. Mr. Pajoohi slowly opened his front door and observed two uniformed police officers. The officers angrily demanded entry into his home. Mr. Pajoohi explained that everything was fine and his family was sleeping. The officer told Mr. Pajoohi that if he didn’t allow them entry he would “kick his teeth in”. The defendant officer than forced his way into the home by pushing Mr. Pajoohi, grabbing his arms and slamming his face against the wall. Stunned and frightened Mr.  Pajoohi began calling to his wife for help. Without explanation or cause, the officer again slammed Mr. Pajoohi into the wall and handcuffed him. He was then forcibly removed from his home and placed in a police vehicle. No illegal substance or contraband was ever discovered in Mr. Pajoohi’s possession, in his vicinity or inside his home.  Mr. Pajoohi was transported to the 79th precinct where he was searched, fingerprinted and photographed. Approximately twenty four hours later, Mr. Pajoohi was released from Central Booking. The Kings County District Attorney declined to prosecute the case. As a result of the officers’ assault, Mr. Pajoohi sustained swelling and bruising on his arms and legs. He suffered extreme emotional trauma from the officers forceful and unjustified entry into the home where his wife and daughter slept, form the physical attack and from the many hours spent incarcerated without explanation. Defendant Police Officers named in this case are NYPD Officer Richard Danese, NYPD Officer Sean Salvatore, and NYPD Sergeant Sudesh Ramjattan.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.354301/gov.uscourts.nyed.354301.14.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139061/pajoohi-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"id":"EWG5","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/EWG5"}
