Further details on conclusions.
On August 17, 2015, at approximately 5:35 p.m., [redacted] was walking east on West 148th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and Convent Avenue in Manhattan. [redacted] was stopped by Sgt. John Mejia, Det. Keith Knight, and Det. Leonid Pysin of Manhattan Borough Narcotics (Allegations A-C). [redacted] alleged the following: Sgt. Mejia tightly handcuffed [redacted] (Allegation D). The officers were very close to [redacted] when he was trying to explain that he was on his way to an appointment and did not have any drugs on him, and some spit accidentally exited his mouth and landed on the officers. Det. Knight said, "If you do that again, I'm going to knock your fucking teeth out" (Allegations E-F). Sgt. Mejia said, in reference to the spit, "You did it to me again! I'm going to fuck you up-that's the second time you did that" (Allegations H-I). Both Det. Knight and Sgt. Mejia told [redacted] to stop spitting, or else he would be arrested (Allegations G and J). Sgt. Mejia, Det. Knight, and Det. Pysin reached inside his pockets (Allegations K-M). [redacted] was not arrested or issued a summons. On the day following this incident, [redacted] went to the doctor to have his wrists examined, as he was still experiencing pain from the handcuffs. [redacted] was diagnosed with a fractured left wrist (Privileged Documents 1). Read report for details.
