Summary

At approximately 11:30pm on August 3, 2006, [redacted] received a phone call from his daughter, who lives on [redacted] at [redacted] in Manhattan. She called [redacted] to pick her up because she had a dispute with her boyfriend. [redacted] got to her apartment near 11:30pm and stayed there until 12:30am. His daughter was not ready to leave so he decided to wait outside. He stood at [redacted] and then walked to [redacted] and waited for 15 minutes. A patrol car pulled up beside him and three officers exited the vehicle. The first officer was a light-skinned Hispanic male who was 5'8", wore a white shirt and appeared to be in his early thirties whose name was Captain Caban (this officer was identified as Captain Edward Caban). The second officer was a white male who was 5'4"- 5'6", of small build and who appeared in his late twenties whose name was PO Quire (this officer was identified as PO Brian Quire). The third officer was a Hispanic female who was 5'4" whose name was PO Soriano (this officer was identified as PO Maribel Soriano).
The only officer who spoke during this encounter was Captain Caban. Captain Caban asked [redacted] what he was doing standing on the corner. [redacted] stated that it was a free country and he had the right to stand without having to explain himself. Captain Caban insisted that [redacted] explain why he was standing at the location and to provide his identification. Captain Caban told [redacted] he would ask one more time, and asked [redacted] for his identification (Allegation A). Instead of providing his identification, he asked Captain Caban what he had done. In his initial complaint and official statement, [redacted] stated that Captain Caban then said, "Motherfucker I asked you nicely, now I'm going to have to do this the hard way" (Allegation B). In his initial complaint, [redacted] stated that Captain Caban also said, "I am a fucking Bronx Puerto-Rican and I don't take any shit." Captain Caban spun [redacted] around and pushed him face-forward onto the patrol car... Read report for details.
