Description: On July 23, 2017, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Hasan Mitchell was lawfully present near Beekman Avenue and East 141st Street in the Bronx when he was approached by NYPD officers, including Officer Luis Soltero and unidentified officers John Doe and John Roe. The officers allegedly stopped, searched, and arrested Mitchell without probable cause, using excessive force. Mitchell was strip-searched while in custody and falsely charged with a crime. He remained detained for over 24 hours and had to attend multiple court appearances before the charges were dismissed. Mitchell claims to have suffered physical and emotional harm as a result of the arrest and excessive force.
