Summary

On August 12, 2019, at approximately 6 p.m., [redacted] was detained in a holding cell at the 67th Precinct stationhouse, following his arrest for various offenses (Board Review 01). From inside the cell, [redacted] used his basketball jersey to obtain one of his shoes outside the cell, which the officers had previously confiscated. Police Officers Pierre Pradieu, Caner Sezer, and Ryan Barba, all from the 67th Precinct, entered the cell. PO Barba pointed his Taser at [redacted] (Allegation A: Abuse of Authority, [redacted]) while PO Sezer and PO Pradieu removed his shoe. [redacted] put his jersey back on. PO Pradieu briefly exited the cell before re-entering it, pushing [redacted] up against the wall, and taking him down to the ground (Allegation B: Force). Seconds after taking [redacted] to the ground, PO Pradieu grabbed [redacted] by the front of his basketball jersey, lifted him off of the ground to about knee-level, and then struck him against the ground (Allegation C: Force, [redacted]). The officers stood [redacted] up and rear-handcuffed him. As the officers escorted him out of the cell, [redacted] fell to the ground of his own accord. PO Pradieu grabbed the chain link of [redacted] handcuffs and carried him face-down by that chain to another cell (Allegation D: Force, [redacted]). [redacted] experienced back pain and sustained contusions to his mid-back and left ankle, and he was later transported to a hospital while still in custody. Read report for details.
