Four or five armed officers carrying assault style rifles and wearing tactical gear with bullet proof vests surrounded Plaintiff 1 in the apartment. Plaintiff 1 was partially undressed at the time the officers came into the apartment and was in the process of putting on his socks and shirt. The officers restrained Plaintiff 1, grabbed the sock from his hand and threw it aside, preventing him from putting it on his foot. The officers refused to permit Plaintiff 1 to put on a shirt, and placed separate handcuffs on each of his wrists. Plaintiff 2 pleaded with the officers to leave Plaintiff 1 alone, telling the officers that Plaintiff 1 had not done anything. Plaintiff 2 was then arrested. Plaintiff 1, handcuffed and still partially naked – in that he was still without any shirt, shoes or left sock – was dragged into the hallway while the officers searched his apartment without permission or a warrant. Plaintiff 1, still partially naked, was then dragged out of the building, into the freezing air and in front of the general public. Plaintiff 1 pleaded with the officers while he kept telling them he had not done anything wrong. PO turned and pushed Plaintiff 1’s face against a nearby police transport vehicle, injuring Plaintiff 1’s left hand, left shoulder, and back. Plaintiff 1 continued to plead with the officers saying he had not done anything wrong when one of the officers struck Plaintiff 1 in the mouth. Both Plaintiffs were taken to a police precinct where they were searched. While at the precinct, Plaintiff 1 requested and was denied medical attention. After several hours, the officers brought Plaintiff 1, bound and shackled at his feet and still partially naked, in the freezing rain to court. Plaintiffs were arraigned and charged with several crimes. All the charges were later dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.497603/gov.uscourts.nyed.497603.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67412120/hardy-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Frazier, Nelson vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-09-08","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"513105/2016","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Martin, Paul","summary":"On May 7, 2015, while Plaintiff was sleeping, the defendant officers, without either consent, an arrest warrant, a lawful search warrant, probably cause, or reasonable suspicion that plaintiff had committed a crime, unlawfully arrested plaintiff. The defendant officers entered Plaintiff’s home pointing firearms at Plaintiff, rushed and grabbed him, threw him to the ground, and placed excessively tight handcuffs on his wrists. The defendant officers also punched and struck Plaintiff while he was handcuffed, stepped on his wrists and chests, and pulled down his pants exposing his genitals. An ambulance arrived on the scene but provided Plaintiff with limited treatment. The defendant officers searched Plaintiff’s apartment and found no basis to arrest him. Additionally, they left his door open, causing loss of his personal property and money. \n\nThe defendant officers transferred plaintiff to the 83rd precinct for arrest processing where he was strip-searched with no basis for doing so. In order to cover up their illegal actions, the defendant officers initiated police reports, false sworn complaint(s) and/or conversations, falsely and maliciously told the Kings Country District Attorney Office that Plaintiff had committed various crimes and the DA prosecuted Plaintiff for various charges. After appearance in criminal court, the case against Plaintiff was dismissed in its entirety on November 20, 2015. Plaintiff suffered physical injuries including pain, bruises, contusions, lacerations, shoulder sprain, wrist sprain, and orthopedic injuries as well as humiliation and embarrassment.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=u6BMdTY_PLUS_TfTTgm3IM2fygA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Fant, Edward vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-12-11","disposition_date":"2019-07-03","payout_amount":8500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"014214/2015","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Martin, Paul"},{"name":"Archer, Gabriel vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-06-11","disposition_date":"2015-12-14","payout_amount":17500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV03358","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Martin, Paul","summary":"Defendant Officers unlawfully stopped and searched plaintiff on the street and was brought to the precinct with handcuffs.
