$125,000 Settlement for Tibial Fracture due to Police Brutality

$125,000 settlement for a man who sued the New York City Police Department. The police answered a call for disorderly conduct at a Manhattan hotel but, upon their arrival, found the altercation had been resolved. Thereafter, the police pulled the victim out of his hotel room in his pajamas, cuffed him and needlessly swept his leg, causing a comminuted tibial fracture that required surgery to install a rod. Surveillance video showed the victim posed no threat at the time the police broke his leg.
