Complaint
Description: On October 29, 2019 at approximately 9:00 AM, plaintiff's 14-year old son, M.J., and another teenager encountered defendant police officers Duffany and Alexander inside the lobby or an apartment building at 3230 Cruger Avenue in the Bronx. When the two boys saw the police officers, they ran. Eventually, the police officers caught up with the boys and ordered them to put their hands up and stand against a wall (it is unclear if this occurred inside or outside the building); the boys complied. The police officers questioned the boys and told them to sit on the floor. In response, M.J. and the other boy cursed at the police officers, and defendant Duffany responded by sweeping M.J. off of his feet with a kick....
