The plaintiff was lawfully in the vicinity of 163rd Street and Brook Avenue in the Bronx when the defendants approached him. The defendants did not have a warrant, reasonable cause, or probable cause of criminal activity to stop and search the plaintiff. Rather, the defendants stopped and questioned the plaintiff based solely on his age and/or race. Subsequently, the defendants transported the plaintiff to a police station in the Bronx where they commenced a criminal action against him. The criminal action lacked probable cause of criminal activity and was brought with malice and bad faith. Further, while in the defendants' custody, the plaintiff was touched, grabbed, strip searched, and handcuffed. \n\nAs a result of the defendants' actions, the plaintiff suffered physical and emotional injuries such that he was compelled to seek medical aid.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=AMSeug/V0wZz3OxX9qa3Yw==","type":"complaint"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/LU8M-fitz-edouard.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115444","overtime":"45791","other":"16055","total":"177290"},"id":"LU8M","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/LU8M"}
