Further details on conclusions.
On May 3, 2020, at approximately 10:00 a.m., [redacted] entered the Lexington Avenue and East 125th Street subway station in Manhattan, without wearing a mask. While inside the station, [redacted] encountered PO Eroll Cherenfant from Transit Bureau District 4, who told [redacted] to put on a mask. After a back and forth about this, PO Cherenfant ejected [redacted] from the train station. While [redacted] was being ejected, PO Krystelle Smiley, also from Transit Bureau District 4, allegedly threatened to tase him if he did not comply with the officers (Allegation A: Abuse of Authority; [redacted]).

He then told [redacted] to leave the scene; [redacted] refused and called 911 to speak with the Internal Affairs Bureau.
