The incident occurred when our client approached the scene of an accident involving a marked police car and a civilian vehicle at a Brooklyn intersection.

The physical altercation caused devastating injuries, including permanent blindness in one eye. Although our client was initially arrested and wrongfully charged with disorderly conduct, the charges were later dropped due to a lack of evidence and the clear misconduct by the officer.
