Summary

On May 29, 2020, at approximately 9:00 p.m., in the vicinity of Classon Avenue between Gates Avenue and Quincy Street in Brooklyn, a police brutality protest was underway. PO Craig McGrath, PO Patrick Craig, and Lt. Eric Delman, all then of the 77th Precinct, occupied an unmarked vehicle traveling in the area and towards the 88th Precinct stationhouse. While the vehicle was driving past the protesters, PO McGrath opened the vehicle door adjacent to his seat, causing the door to strike the unidentified victim (Allegation A -Force: Vehicle, [redacted]). The unidentified victim was not arrested by PO McGrath as a result of this incident, and due to the victim being unidentified, the investigation was unable to determine whether he was arrested in connection with the protest. Read report for details.
