Abdelbaky, Abdelalim vs City of Ny, et al.Case # 154163/2023, Supreme Court - New York, May 18, 2023
Complaint
Description: On May 9, 2022, when plaintiff was selling food and drinks from a licensed cart on the street in front of "GUCCI" in New York City, police officers, including defendants P.O. Matthew O'Mara and P.O. Michael Rachwalski, approached plaintiff and demanded documentation for his permit to sell food, which he provided. Despite this, the officers used profanities, arrested Abdelbaky, and handcuffed him. Abdelbaky was then taken to a police car and was punched in the eye, kicked and assaulted on their way to the precinct. His food cart was confiscated, causing him financial loss.
