Suddenly and without any provocation or legal justification, defendant police officers forcibly grabbed plaintiff and threw him down to the ground and began punching plaintiff in the face, head, and all over his body with a baton, causing plaintiff to suffer serious physical injuries to the face, eyes, body, and right elbow. Defendant police officers then unlawfully handcuffed plaintiff, forcibly lifted him off the ground, placed him in the back seat of the police vehicle, and transported him to the 40th precinct where plaintiff was fingerprinted, photographed, and unlawfully detained in a holding cell. While at the precinct, EMS was called to treat plaintiff for the physical injuries inflicted by the defendant police officers and plaintiff was further treated at Lincoln Hospital for numerous injuries on August 13, 2015 around 3:30 am. On August 13, 2015 at approximately 1:30 pm, plaintiff was discharged from the hospital and transported to central booking. \n\nDefendant police officers falsely stated to the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office that plaintiff had committed a crime despite knowing that they lacked a legal and a factual basis to allege that plaintiff committed any crime. On August 14, 2015, at approximately 1 pm, after around 36 hours in police custody, plaintiff was arraigned and the Judge set bail. The same day at 1 pm, plaintiff was able to post bail and was released from the courthouse. Plaintiff was charged with assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and harassment. After he was released, plaintiff received more medical treatment at Mt. Sinai Medical Center and complained to the medical staff at the hospital that his right elbow and face, among other things, were injured by defendant police officers. Plaintiff was forced to appear in court approximately 15 times before all charges against him were dismissed and sealed on or about November 9, 2017.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=vqD3ksEJO210SZ5Mh6JHjw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"England, Martin vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-05-31","disposition_date":"2019-01-25","payout_amount":30000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"026039/2018E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Bulfamante, Mariano","summary":"On November 8, 2017, Plaintiff was lawfully in the vicinity of E 139th St and Brook Ave doing nothing illegal when Officers Gidarisingh, Bulfamante, Doe, and Roe approached him absent probable cause or warrant, and searched, grabbed, assaulted, battered, and detained him in an aggressive and excessive manner.
