Further details on conclusions.
On June 23, 2015, at approximately 3:30 a.m., [redacted] was sleeping underneath a car in a large junkyard and automobile repair lot at [redacted] in the Bronx. [redacted] had nowhere to sleep that night so he earlier jumped over the gate, did heroin and went underneath the car. Officers from the 40th Precinct and Patrol Borough Bronx responded to a call of a burglary and arrested two men outside of the lot. It was reported that two more individuals were inside. A search of the lot by these officers was negative. Sgt. Sastri Drysdale of Patrol Borough Bronx called for the Aviation Unit and ESU. Six officers from ESU searched the lot. When [redacted] noticed officers come into the lot, he crawled underneath another car where he did not think they would find him. While hiding, he fell asleep. [redacted] woke up to an officer announcing, "Police. Don't move. Put your hands where I can see them." Det. Walter Szachacz of ESU 3 pointed his firearm at [redacted] (Allegation A). A police K-9 handled by Det. Lorraine Bowden of the ESU Canine Unit allegedly bit [redacted] on both of his legs (Allegation B). On the other side of the car, Det. Szachacz and Det. Conway Reivers of ESU 3 grabbed [redacted]'s arms, pulled him out by his armpits and handcuffed him (Allegations C and D). An officer, who [redacted] could not see, allegedly kicked the left side of his face and stomped downwards in the same spot (Allegation E). An officer, who [redacted] could not see, allegedly said, "Anybody else here with you? Tell me or I'm going to kick your fucking teeth in if you don't tell me right now" (Allegation F and G). [redacted] responded, telling the officer that he was there alone and only sleeping. The same officer allegedly replied, "I don't want to hear that shit" (Allegation F continued). [redacted] was escorted out of the lot and placed into an ambulance. PO Benito Cruz of the 40th Precinct allegedly told him, "If you say anything at the hospital, I'll make sure they don't give you shit" (Allegation H). [redacted] was charged...
