Further details on conclusions.
The following incident was captured on cell phone video (see Board Review #1) obtained from a witness, [redacted] who posted the footage on Facebook. At approximately 2:15 p.m. on May 1, 2015, [redacted] was stopped on the northwest corner of Hegemon Avenue and Montauk Avenue in Brooklyn by PO Steven Moylan and Lt. Vitaliy Zelikov, both from the 75th Precinct (Allegation A). Although he was initially stopped for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, after further investigation the officers discovered that he had an open warrant, reportedly for an unpaid summons, and exited the vehicle to arrest him. As officers attempted to place him in handcuffs, [redacted] protested the arrest and walked away. As he did so, Lt. Zelikov fired a TASER into [redacted]'s back (Allegation B), though it had minimal effect on him. While PO Moylan grabbed [redacted] in a bear hug, Lt. Zelikov removed his baton and allegedly struck [redacted] on both shins at least once (Allegation C). Immediately thereafter, PO Moylan threw [redacted] to the ground so that he landed on his left hip (Allegation D). PO Moylan then mounted [redacted] on the ground and allegedly punched him on the side of his head one to two times using a closed fist (Allegation E). As Lt. Zelikov joined the struggle, he instructed unidentified members of a crowd that had formed to "Get the fuck back" (Allegation F). In order to assist PO Moylan, Lt. Zelikov then deployed the TASER against [redacted]'s back two more times (subsumed with Allegation B). Following this, Lt. Zelikov used one knee to press [redacted]'s head down against the ground, allegedly causing [redacted]'s extreme pain (Allegation G). [redacted] was subsequently handcuffed and escorted to a police van by PO Moylan and PO Michael Vitale of Patrol Borough Brooklyn North, who had just arrived on the scene to assist. As PO Vitale placed him into the back seat of the van, he allegedly punched [redacted] on the back of his right leg (Allegation H). [redacted] was transported to the 75th Precinct stationhouse...
