While alone inside the residence, the plaintiff heard a noise at the door.  When he opened the door, he saw the NYPD defendants, specifically Officer Budney and Detectives McCarthy, Halinski, Erlich, McGuinness, Difrancessa, Hefner, and Gezurian.  The NYPD defendants entered the residence and subjected the plaintiff to several forms of physical force, including pushing him against the wall, punching his back, kicking him when he fell to the floor, and punching his face, causing a bleeding lip.  As a result, the plaintiff suffered physical injury.  The NYPD defendants took the plaintiff to a precinct where he remained in custody before his transfer to a booking facility.

The plaintiff was also charged with several crimes, which were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=zHX9W6bzWgp/wEXWklsb_PLUS_Q==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Shaw, Russel vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-05-20","disposition_date":"2013-10-25","payout_amount":7501,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV03205","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Budney, Nicholas","url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8471803/shaw-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"Budney, Nicholas","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-12-26","disposition_date":"2018-08-06","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"309721/2012","name":"Murray, Donnell vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":80000}],"id":"MXCZ","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/MXCZ"}
