Case # 509814/2021,
Supreme Court - Kings, April 8, 2021, ended March 7, 2023
$77,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On March 31, 2021, while the plaintiff was lawfully driving a rental car with the proper paperwork to prove it, he was suddenly stopped by NYPD officers. The defendant officers broke the passenger side window where the plaintiff was seated, attempted to pull his arm through the broken glass, discharged a taser into him, pulled him out of the car, handcuffed him, and searched his person. The taser prongs penetrated the plaintiff's jacket and shirt, lodged into his skin, and required the use of a scalpel for removal. Although the plaintiff was arrested for driving a stolen car, this allegation was not true.
