The Defendants chased the Plaintiff and threw, shoved, and slammed him onto the entryway of a building. They punched the Plaintiff in his face, head, neck, and chest. The Defendants slammed the Plaintiff onto the ground and handcuffed him. After handcuffing the Plaintiff, the Defendants continued to beat the Plaintiff, including by punching, kicking, and holding him face down on the sidewalk with the weight of one of the officer's foot/boot on his back. The handcuffs were locked too tightly and the Plaintiff's hands swelled and went numb and his shoulders began tingling. The Defendants ignored his pleas to loosen the handcuffs. The Defendants denied the Plaintiff medical attention, did not read him his Miranda rights, and did not give him a phone call. For several hours, the Plaintiff was denied medical attention until he was transported to the hospital and subjected to psychiatric evaluation in the \"psych ward,\" confined for hours. The Plaintiff was then taken to Central Booking to be processed. At arraignment, he was given the retaliatory charge of resisting arrest. After the charges were dismissed on September 7, 2018, he remained imprisoned and spent additional days in state custody. On September 12, 2018, he was transferred to the custody of the US Marshal Service.

PO Sanchez exited the vehicle wearing plain clothes and told the Plaintiff to approach. There was no visible marking that the Officer or the vehicle was NYPD. Out of fear for his life, the Plaintiff ran away and PO Sanchez started to chase him. PO Herrera, who was also in the car, got out to help PO Sanchez. PO Hughes was the driver, who also pursued the Plaintiff while in the car. It was only when the Officers caught the Plaintiff, that they told him they were NYPD and put him in handcuffs. They did not tell the Plaintiff why he was under arrest. Sgt. Demonda approved of the arrest, despite the manufactured evidence against the Plaintiff. Later, the Plaintiff was told he was arrested for alleged possession of a firearm, which he did not possess. PO Herrera signed a criminal complaint that stated the Defendants had observed the Plaintiff urinating on a public sidewalk and also dropped his gun to the ground. Both allegations were false. PO Herrera and PO Sanchez gave multiple false testimonies against the Plaintiff in front of the Jury.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.452899/gov.uscourts.nyed.452899.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/18440254/bradley-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"White, Kevin vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-02-03","disposition_date":"2016-04-06","payout_amount":6500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV00270","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Demonda, Michael","summary":"Plaintiff was walking towards his grandmother's apt after picking up a bottle of Hennessey at the liquor store and was approached by officers.
