Attempting to use his flashlight to obtain a badge number, the plaintiff was struck twice by Defendant Officer Matos, who used his baton to knock the flashlight from his hand. As more defendant officers began chasing civilians, the plaintiff attempted to run but was grabbed, thrown to the ground, and jumped on by several officers. They repeatedly struck the plaintiff with fists, feet, and batons, causing injuries, and pinned him to the ground with their knees while stomping on his hand. None of the defendant officers present intervened to stop the excessive force and illegal arrest. The plaintiff was arrested with extremely tight handcuffs and transported to the 6th Precinct, where he was handcuffed to a bench for approximately seven hours while visibly bleeding. He was eventually taken to Central Booking and held until his arraignment. Defendant Matos signed a criminal court complaint, approved by Defendant Lewandoski, falsely accusing the plaintiff of striking an officer's helmet, resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, and disorderly conduct. On February 1, 2022, all criminal charges against the plaintiff were dismissed, resulting in significant damages to the plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=YgEDTt7nW0HNHQZJmdpkbQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Frederique, Stanley vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-05-20","disposition_date":"2015-03-11","payout_amount":30000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV03532","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Bedford, Leroy D.","summary":"On February 21. 2013, Plaintiff Stanley Federique was arrested by NYPD detectives in Manhattan for allegedly stealing a cell phone that belonged to an individual who died after a violent altercation in a park.
