When Mr. Marrero would not come out, the officers entered and began to attack the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs S.V. and Williams were thrown against the wall and choked. Plaintiffs Marrero and Velasquez were punched, kicked and struck with truncheons. Plaintiff Marrero was handcuffed so tightly that he was in-juried and his wrists swelled.
