Plaintiff has a visible physical disability as he is paralyzed from the chest and waist down and requires a wheelchair for mobility. He also has to use a catheter in order to urinate. When arrested, officers lifted plaintiff out of his car and placed him in his wheelchair. An NYPD van arrived to transport plaintiff to the precinct, but the van was not wheelchair accessible. Officers instead lifted plaintiff into the van but did not secure him in any way. Plaintiff could not hold himself upright as his hands were handcuffed and once the van moved, he fell to the floor. He hit his head, neck and body as the van made its way to the precinct. Officers denied his request for alternative transportation. \nOnce at the precinct, the holding cells were not wide enough for his wheelchair so he was handcuffed to a bar on a wall outside of the calls for the majority of his 38 hour detention. Plaintiff could not adjust himself during this time, which is required to prevent sores, clots and infection. Plaintiff was also not given a sanitary bottle to empty his catheter into and was instead given a gatorade bottle. The bathroom the precinct did have was not physically accessible to him. Plaintiff clothing was soaked with his own urine.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4923022-Filer-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.361183/gov.uscourts.nyed.361183.49.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323734/filer-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Garris, Nieisha, et Ano vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-04-30","disposition_date":"2014-04-28","payout_amount":75000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV02901","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Zozzaro, James J.","summary":"Defendant Officers arrested Plaintiffs for recording the officers arresting three other suspects using excessive force.
