POs Conde and Cusick (who were looking for a man who committed an assault) approached plaintiff and asked why he was out of breath. Plaintiff responded that he was playing basketball. Conde and Cusick asked plaintiff to come to the front of the house and began pushing him towards to front of the house and street. As they approached the street, one PO tried to grab plaintiff's arm. Plaintiff moved his arm and the POs screamed that he was resisting arrest. One PO then began to beat plaintiff by hitting him on his head and face with a closed fist while the other restrained plaintiff and attempted to bring him to the ground. While plaintiff was attacked, the victim of the assault and plaintiff's aunt and cousin yelled at the officers that the assaulter was not the plaintiff. POs Velotti, Hawkins, and others arrived while or before plaintiff was attacked but did not intervene in the attack or plaintiff's arrest.\n\nPlaintiff was taken to the 101st Precinct where he was processed and charged with obstructing governmental administration in the second degree, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. The PO who took plaintiff's prints told plaintiff that the defendants' conduct was not proper and plaintiff did nothing wrong. Plaintiff was released and sought treatment at the hospital, where he was diagnosed with internal bruises in his face and injuries to his jaw. Plaintiff was prosecuted for a year and a half. One charge was dismissed for facial insufficiency and the other two were acquitted by a jury in April 2015.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23718983-2016_norea_14cv06165","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6299828/norea-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23201728-disclosure-letter-cusick-neil","type":"brady-giglio"}],"payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115444","overtime":"42825","other":"15751","total":"174020"},"id":"WNV3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/WNV3"}
