On June 5, 2016, at approximately 1:20 p.m., [redacted] together with their three daughters, were riding in a taxi-cab driven by [redacted] At the intersection of East 31st Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan, [redacted] merged into the left lane and drove around a truck ahead of him that was allegedly blocking his view and was stopped while the traffic signal was green. [redacted] observed PO Christopher Napolitano of the 14th Precinct directing traffic at the intersection and a parade marching on Madison Avenue. PO Napolitano stopped the cab and told [redacted] he was driving above the speed limit and he could be issued a summons for it (Allegations A and B). [redacted] told the officer he had not been speeding and rolled up his window. PO Napolitano stepped away from the window and stood in front of the cab. PO Napolitano did not let [redacted] proceed and allegedly held the cab for approximately 10 minutes, despite the parade having breaks in it and letting other vehicles go (Allegation C). [redacted] asked PO Napolitano why they were being held, and PO Napolitano allegedly replied that he was keeping [redacted] from driving for talking back to him (Allegation C continued). PO Napolitano then let [redacted] go without issuing him any summonses. Read report for details.
