Further details on conclusions.
On October 17, 2016, at approximately 12:19 p.m., [redacted] drove on the Belt Parkway in Queens towards JFK Airport. He was pulled over by an officer identified through the investigation as PO Eric St. Clair from Highway 2. Subsequent to the stop, PO St. Clair asked [redacted] for his license and registration and [redacted] wanted to know what he was pulled over for. PO St. Clair told [redacted] he pulled him over for doing 86mph in a 50mph zone. PO St. Clair allegedly tried to grab [redacted]'s documents through the window and missed. PO St. Clair opened the door to the vehicle and allegedly pushed [redacted] over onto the passenger seat of the vehicle. PO St. Clair handcuffed [redacted]'s left hand and could not get his right hand because it was trapped under [redacted]'s body. PO St. Clair punched [redacted] in the face multiple times (Allegation A) and struck him in the elbow with his expandable baton (Allegation B). PO St. Clair also stuck his thumb into [redacted]'s eye (Allegation C) while screaming, "Put your fucking arm behind your back." (Allegation D). Since [redacted] did not give up his arms, PO St. Clair had [redacted] in an arm bar hold and told him that he would break his arm if he did not give up his arm (Allegation E).
