On July 22, 2015, at approximately 6:53 p.m., in front of [redacted] in the Bronx, [redacted] was disposing of her garbage when she was allegedly approached by PO Sean Higgins and PO Jennifer Nicalek. PO Higgins and PO Nicalek immediately commanded [redacted] to leave the area, and subsequently, began pushing her multiple times towards the front of the building (Allegation A and B). When they reached the front of the building, PO Nicalek placed [redacted] in handcuffs, which prompted [redacted] to accidentally urinate on herself.

PO Hook then transported [redacted] to the 43rd Precinct stationhouse, where she was later issued a summons for public urination and two summonses for disorderly conduct by PO Nicalek. After being released, [redacted] called 911 and requested an ambulance because of her injuries. [redacted] was transported to [redacted] in the Bronx.
