He was falsely charged and maliciously prosecuted with assault and harassment of an NYPD Traffic Agent the previous day. On that day a male traffic agent falsely and intentionally flagged him towards the bus lane when Vanessa Jackson grabbed the Plaintiff's windshield wiper's and aggressively placed a ticket underneath. This resulted in damage to the Plaintiff's wipers and a broken clip. The Plaintiff asked why this was happening and Officer Vanessa Jackson became even more aggressive. Thereafter, NYPD Traffic Agent Luz Moctezuma began to call the Plaintiff racially discriminatory names and threatened to \"f** him up.\" The Officer then proceeded to grab his genitals before advising the Plaintiff to leave the scene. The assault happened in front of his wife and two daughters. All charges were dismissed on August 22 2022.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=erWidWwxW16ItgPTWrraJw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Balde v.
