Complaint
Description: On July 3, 2019, plaintiff was lawfully in the vicinity of Oak Point Avenue and Halleck Street, Bronx, when defendant police officers, without any probable cause or legal justification, approached plaintiff for no reason other than plaintiff's race and summarily stopped, searched, grabbed, assaulted, battered, and detained him in an excessive manner. Plaintiff was handcuffed and arrested. While in custody, plaintiff was strip-searched, and during arraignment plaintiff was falsely prosecuted with committing a crime. All charges against plaintiff were eventually terminated in his favor. As a result of defendants' actions, plaintiff sustained severe physical injuries and emotional trauma.
