Description: On September 3 2022, the Plaintiff was falsely arrested without probable cause by NYPD Detective Nicholas Doran, NYPD Officer Michael Kranz, David Black, and John Does. The Plaintiff was taken to the Precinct and placed in a holding cell where he was attacked and assaulted by the Officers. His injuries for the assault required medical attention.

The District Attorney moved to dismiss all charges on February 15 2023 due to lack of evidence after initiating a malicious prosecution knowing there was not enough evidence.
