Conclusion Meanings:
'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Complaint
Description: On May 22, 2019, five NYPD officers responding to a 911 call asked Plaintiff, who was praying, to leave his prayer room. When Plaintiff asked why he had to leave the room, the officers did not respond and instead began punching and kicking him in his legs, stomach, arms and face while pushing him to the ground for about four minutes. Officers forced Plaintiff into an ambulance and then searched him.
