As he passed, he noticed that Defendant Officers Berkowitz, Devane, and Mercurio were staring at him from inside the vehicle. The unmarked police car then began tailing Mr. Marcellin and eventually pulled his car over. As Mr. Marcellin pulled over, he signaled to a nearby bystander, who began to record the incident. Defendant Officer Berkowitz approached the car and demanded that Mr. Marcellin produce his license. Mr. Marcellin mistakenly produced his learner's permit instead of his license, at which point he was threatened by Defendant Officer Devane. Mr. Marcellin and Defendant Officer Berkowitz began to shout at one another, and Defendant Officer Berkowitz put a taser up to Mr. Marcellin's face. At this point, Mr. Marcellin called out for assistance from Defendant Officers Persad and Corbin (who he knew from the neighborhood), but these officers failed to intervene.\n\nAfter a series of escalations, Mr. Marcellin yelled that he would find out where the officers lived and assault their children. In response, Defendant Officer Devane yanked Mr. Marcellin out of the car, and Defendant Officer Berkowitz tased him in the chest multiple times. Defendant Officers Devane, Mercurio, Foss, Marcus, Dempsey, Farese, and Camerada kicked Mr. Marcellin as he lay on the ground. Mr. Marcellin was then placed in the police vehicle, and the defendant officers refused to provide him with his asthma inhaler.\n\nAt the precinct, Defendant Officer Devane then searched Mr. Marcellin's genital area and left him in a cell in his underwear. Mr. Marcellin's cell phone was confiscated and had been destroyed when it was returned to him later.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.431709/gov.uscourts.nyed.431709.28.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14908943/marcellin-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Evans, Abdul vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-05-31","disposition_date":"2016-09-21","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"16CV02513","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Persad, Rawle","summary":"On August 29, 2014 Plaintiff was driving his car when he was pulled over by a police officer from the 101st Precinct.
