Further details on conclusions.
On January 3, 2016, at approximately 12:00 pm, [redacted] was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on the southbound FDR Drive, near E. 116th Street in Manhattan.

Worley approached and shouted at [redacted] to get back in his vehicle, allegedly stating: "you fucking caused the accident, I'm going to show you what I'm going to do, you need to get back in the car before things get real ugly." (Allegation C, D) Later, as [redacted] was inside his vehicle and speaking on his phone about hiring a lawyer, Sgt. Worley allegedly stated: "Ok, I'm going to show you what the...
