Further details on conclusions.
On February 22, 2015, at approximately 7:38 p.m., Lt. Thomas Kelly, Det. Jesus Capo, and PO Michael Duffy were canvassing for suspects in regards to an assault and stabbing that had occurred in the vicinity of West 116th Street between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard in Manhattan. During this canvass, Lt. Kelly, Det. Capo, and Michael Duffy observed a group of five males, one of whom was later identified as [redacted] standing in front of 61 Saint Nicholas Avenue in Manhattan. As the officers approached this group in their RMP, [redacted] walked away from the group. Lt. Kelly, Det. Capo, and PO Duffy exited the RMP and allegedly ordered him to put his hands up (Allegation A) and he complied. The officers then grabbed [redacted] jacket and pushed him into a roll-down security gate (Allegation B) without saying anything to him beforehand except ordering him to put up his hands. An officer identified by the investigation as PO Duffy twisted [redacted] arm (Allegation B cont'd) and asked him if he had anything on him (Allegation C). Lt. Kelly, Det.

Bertie Bowman, while PO Michael Dappolonia and PO Marc Hummel caught up to [redacted] on foot. The officers ordered [redacted] to get on the ground and he complied. One of the officers that were chasing him allegedly forcefully put his knee into his back (Allegation E), resulting in a bruise to his lower back. Another officer whom [redacted] could not identify allegedly held his foot on [redacted]... Read report for details.
