Further details on conclusions.
On February 6, 2015, at approximately 9:30 p.m., [redacted] and his wife, [redacted] got into a dispute in front of their residence at [redacted] in Manhattan. PO Victor Charles and Lt. Washington Zurita of the 23rd Precinct were driving by and saw [redacted] strike [redacted] in the face. [redacted] fled inside the building after seeing the officers and unsuccessfully attempted to close the front door behind him. PO Charles joined [redacted] in the building's small vestibule and stood behind him while Lt. Zurita requested backup over the radio. Additional officers arrived and began entering the vestibule after approximately two minutes. PO Charles then allegedly said to [redacted], "Man, fuck that" (Allegation A). PO Charles held his asp in his right hand. He reached over [redacted]'s shoulders with both hands and pulled him backwards to the ground. In the process of pulling [redacted] to the ground, PO Charles put his asp against [redacted]'s neck (Allegation B). [redacted] fell to a seated position and PO Charles struck him in the lower back with the butt of his asp multiple times (Allegation C). Officers moved [redacted] onto his stomach and handcuffed him. An unidentified officer then allegedly grabbed the back of [redacted]'s head and struck his face against the ground (Allegation D). An unidentified officer also allegedly struck the left side of [redacted]'s jaw with his hand (Allegation E). A surveillance camera recorded video footage of [redacted]'s interaction with PO Charles and other officers inside the vestibule (BR01; BR02; BR03).
[redacted] was arrested for assault, resisting arrest, and endangering the welfare of a child (BR04). He was transported to the 23rd Precinct stationhouse, where unidentified officers allegedly said to him, "Shut the fuck up," "Shut your fucking mouth," and "Don't fucking talk unless we talk to you" (Allegation F).
