Eltabib, without cause, shoved plaintiff, causing him to fall backwards. The other officers failed to intervene. Plaintiff, who has sickle cell anemia, was in severe pain and breathing heavily after the hit and asked to be taken to the hospital 15-20 times but was denied. Plaintiff was taken to the precinct but was not immediately taken to the hospital after telling the officers he suffered from sickle cell anemia. Later, he was eventually taken to Coney Island Hospital. \n\nPlaintiff was hospitalized from June 16 to June 27. For his entire stay in the hospital, plaintiff was handcuffed to the bed with his feet shackled together. During his stay in the hospital, plaintiff was mistreated by the officers. For example, they often made his handcuffs too tight and did not loosen them when he asked, they made him wait up to 45 minutes after he had said he needed to go to the bathroom, and they interfered with his treatment in the hospital. At the hospital, plaintiff was informed that he did not actually have a suspended license, and instead of two warrants, there was only one for open container.  Further, the officers failed to arraign the plaintiff until 11 days after he was taken into custody. After getting out of the hospital, plaintiff was taken to Central Booking, where he was released without seeing a judge.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.425357/gov.uscourts.nyed.425357.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8201631/tess-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Edison, Timothy vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-07-24","disposition_date":"2015-06-15","payout_amount":8000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV03927","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Desiano, Salvatore","summary":"On April 14, 2012, Plaintiff was lawfully on the street when approached by several officers, including Robert Maynard, Colleen Canavan, Juan Guzman, and Salvatore Desiano.
