The officers recognised Ms. Glenn as the plaintiff in an existing lawsuit against other police officers in the 73rd Precinct, which alleged that the officers had tasered Ms. Glenn in the abdomen while she was pregnant resulting in a miscarriage. The three officers stopped, detained, questioned and unlawfully searched Ms. Glenn's person and purse without cause. After retrieving her ID, one of the officers stated \"I knew that was her\" and \"I told you that was her\". The officers unlawfully arrested and handcuffed Ms. Glenn, stating \"Because you know who you are.\" \n\nMs. Glenn was taken to the 73rd Precinct Stationhouse. The officers viciously assaulted and battered Ms. Glenn, while she was restrained and handcuffed. Her resulting injuries included fractured bone(s), and Ms. Glenn's bladder was caused to release as a result of being stomped on. This attack was carried out as retaliation and in an effort to intimidate and discourage Ms. Glenn from pursuing her prior federal lawsuit. \n\nThe officers then manufactured an internal police department \"cover-up\" of the incident, in which they asserted that Ms. Glenn had injured herself.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4922737-Glenn-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.350006.11.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323038/glenn-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Ceballos, Victor vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-02-12","disposition_date":"2017-04-13","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Administrative Closing","docket":"002049/2014","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Muller, Christopher J.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4918415-Ceballos-v-City-of-New-York"}]},{"name":"Brice, Yves vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-07-22","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"011178/2013","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Muller, Christopher J."},{"name":"Britton et al v.
