Ross, Kwesi vs City of New York, et al.
Case # 18CV01340, U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY, March 8, 2018, ended March 18, 2022
Order/Judgment (Verdict)
Complaint
Description: On May 16, 2015 at around 5pm, officers approached Mr. Ross, an African-American man, and demanded his ID. Mr. Ross did not have his ID on him, but he explained that his mother who was nearby had his ID. The officers ignored him and arrested him, cuffing his hands tightly behind his back and ignoring his pleas not to cuff him so tightly because of a prior arm fracture. Mr. Ross was denied medical assistance despite being in excruciating pain. All charges against Mr. Ross were false and his arrest was subsequently voided. Mr. Ross was treated at a local hospital for a fractured metacarpal bone and facial abrasion.
