Further details on conclusions.
On July 4, 2014, in front of [redacted] in the Bronx, at approximately 10:15pm, [redacted] observed two officers, identified via investigation as Lt. Seth Lynch and PO Nicholas Kournanis, arrive at the location. Shortly thereafter, fireworks were set off near the officers' vehicle. The officers exited and approached a crowd that had formed. According to [redacted] Lt. Lynch approached a man, identified via investigation as [redacted] and stopped him in regard to a nearby radio that was playing music (Allegation A). Lt. Lynch then placed [redacted] in handcuffs in order to take him to the stationhouse, where he was ultimately summonsed (Allegation B). Lt. Lynch placed [redacted] in the patrol car and allegedly threw the radio into the back of the car, hitting [redacted] on the arm (Allegation C).
Although [redacted] did not know [redacted] she protested his arrest because she allegedly knew the radio did not belong to him. Lt. Lynch allegedly told her to "Shut the fuck up" (Allegation D) and told the crowd to clear the area. After the first directive, [redacted] began to walk away, at which point Lt. Lynch told PO Kourounis to handcuff her. PO Kourounis placed a handcuff on [redacted]'s left wrist, and Lt. Lynch allegedly pushed her in the upper chest area with a closed fist, causing her to fall backwards into a chair (Allegation E). While still in the chair, PO Kourounis grabbed [redacted]'s left wrist and further tightened the handcuff (Allegation F). Lt. Lynch began to assist PO Kourounis, and again Lt. Lynch told her to "Shut the fuck up" (within Allegation D). Once both handcuffs were on, PO Kourounis allegedly tightened them further (within Allegation F). [redacted] alleged that she sustained injuries from both the handcuffing and the physical force allegedly used against her by Lt. Lynch. After she was in handcuffs, [redacted] allegedly witnessed Lt. Lynch kick over a grill belonging to a friend of [redacted] possibly damaging it (Allegation G). [redacted] was then transported to the stationhouse.
