Complaint
Description: On April 17, 2013, Plaintiff was lawfully present with a group of friends at his residence at W. 62nd Street in Manhattan, NY. Once Plaintiff observed the group disperse, he proceeded toward W. 64th Street. Plaintiff heard someone yell, "freeze," as he was proceeding toward 64th Street, which caused Plaintiff to become aware that Defendant Noto was in pursuit of him. At this point, plaintiff stopped, dropped down to his knees, and put his hands clearly behind his head. Noto then unlawfully arrested Plaintiff, tackled Plaintiff to the ground, placed handcuffs that were too tight, and zealously pressed the left side of Plaintiff's head and face into the hard concrete, causing pain and lacerations to the left side...
