Description: On or about September 6, 2018, police officers Brendan Latimer and John Does falsely arrested Alpha Diallo. The officers stopped, verbally abused, handcuffed, and arrested Diallo, who was properly driving near Fordham Rd. and Jerome Ave. of Bronx, for no justifiable reason.

Despite officers' malicious and intentional prosecution, the district attorney subsequently denied to prosecute Diallo's charges. As a result, Diallo suffered from physical pain and injuries, fear, insomnia, inability to attend his vocation for multiple days.
