Plaintiff called defendant White, who told him to appear at the 44th precinct. Upon his arrival, the Plaintiff was placed under arrest based on an accusation that he committed a robbery at knife-point. The defendants did not produce a warrant for his arrest. He was handcuffed, fingerprinted, and placed in a cell. The handcuffs were placed excessively tight and held in place for several hours, resulting in blood loss, numbness, and superficial bruising. The Plaintiff was assaulted and battered by the arresting officers. Detective James White, Officer Claudio Velez, Officers Calvin Black, Jason Valentino, and John Ortiz, Sergeant Letty Donley, Ray Fuller, Sergeant Jesse Hernandez, Vincent Trozzi, and Michael Bopp verbally abused and intimidated the Plaintiff. He was transported to Central Booking where he was held for 24 hours, and then he was released. \n\nThe Plaintiff told the officers that he was at work at the time of the crime and gave the name and number of a supervisor who could confirm his alibi. He also provided his metro card so that the officers could verify that he was not near the location of the alleged crime at the time of the offense, but the officers did not attempt to verify his innocence. The Plaintiff also learned that he did not fit the description of the robber. His roommates informed him that previously officers had come to his apartment regarding the same allegations and showed the robbery victim a lineup of his roommates. The victim said that none of the roommates fit the description of the robber because they were “African” whereas the assailant was an “American black male.” The plaintiff comes from Mali, Africa and speaks very little English with a heavy accent.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338.29.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4524164/abdoulaye-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Nelson, Orane vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-10-23","disposition_date":"2015-04-15","payout_amount":25000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV08029","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Trozzi, Vincent","summary":"On March 24, 2012, plaintiff was lawfully present on the sidewalk at the intersection of 161st Street and Grand Concourse, walking home from a birthday party in a group of people.
