New York Police Department marked car
New York Police were slammed with a lawsuit after beating a 19-year-old suspect who they only were able to charge with resisting arrest.
A Bronx man filed a lawsuit last week against New York City and two of its police officers, he says, gave him a brutal and sadistic beating that was recorded on video by a neighbor, which led to a grand jury dropping all charges filed after the incident.
Court documents say that Luis Solivan, 19, was walking home after buying cigarettes last year when a car marked NYPD made a sudden U-turn toward him with blasting sirens.
Solivan ran into his apartment, when New York Police Department police officers DeKoker Thomas and Brian O’Keeffe allegedly broke down his door, pepper-sprayed him in the face and took turns holding him down while the other punched and kicked him, as his mother and two younger brothers watched in horror.
Solivan was slapped with a series of charges including assault and resisting arrest, but a grand jury refused to indict after seeing a single minute cell phone video shot through the window of the basement apartment, his lawyer said.
Lawyer Ilann Maazel also said it was unclear why police had chased Solivan, who at the time was awaiting sentencing in a 2010 stabbing.
“The police did not charge him with anything other than what they say happened in the apartment,” said Maazel.
“I cannot get inside the head of the police. I do not know why they would brutally beat a young man
like that.”
The Manhattan federal court suit seeks unspecified damages for reasons including excessive force, false arrest and malicious prosecution.
DeKoker was among three police officers ordered to pay $500,000 in punitive damages earlier this year in a case of police brutality unrelated to this one, according to court documents.
In a prepared statement, the city attorney Muriel Goode-Trufant, said: “We look forward to the serving of the legal complaint and thoroughly evaluate the claims.”
