On August 31, 2016, at approximately 8:20 p.m., [redacted] was walking south on River Avenue in the Bronx towards East 165th Street. A man [redacted] was walking behind [redacted] with his hand in his pocket in a way that made [redacted] fearful. [redacted] believed that [redacted] was part of a group of males that had harassed him earlier in the evening at a park near that location. [redacted] turned left on East 165th Street and called 911 to ask for police to come help him.
At the intersection of East 165th Street and Gerard Avenue, [redacted] removed a knife from his book bag for self-defense, and got into a physical altercation with [redacted] PO Jorge Flores and PO Ramon Mejia of the 44th Precinct arrived at that location, grabbed [redacted] and placed him in handcuffs.

[redacted] was transported to the 44th Precinct stationhouse, and placed in a holding cell by PO Flores.
