Diaz, who issued a summons for plaintiff's girlfriend. While issuing the summons, POs Tavarez and Perez also arrived. When plaintiff asked why they were issuing a summons, PO Tavarez pushed plaintiff against a metal fence and placed him under arrest. Tavarez forcefully jostled the plaintiff and shoved him into the fence several times. POs Perez and Vega and Sgt. Diaz assisted Tavarez in pushing plaintiff, striking plaintiff in the back while he was pinned against the fence. The plaintiff fell to the ground and all four officers jumped on top of him, kneeled on his back, and held him down. While on the ground, PO Vega pepper sprayed plaintiff in the face. Another defendant took out his nightstick and struck plaintiff on the leg and ankle repeatedly. Plaintiff was brought to the 42nd Precinct where he asked for medical assistance but was refused. There, the defendant officers misrepresented to the Bronx DA's office that plaintiff had committed various crimes. PO Tavarez falsely swore that he saw plaintiff resisting arrest and refusing to be handcuffed. Plaintiff was charged and spent a week in jail, then fought the false charges for more than two years.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.447753/gov.uscourts.nysd.447753.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13247271/agenjo-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Banchs, Christopher vs Vega, Jaydeen, et al.","start_date":"2014-02-11","disposition_date":"2016-04-26","payout_amount":7500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV06021","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Diaz, Johnny","url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13245334/banchs-v-doe/"},{"name":"De La Rosa v.
