New York City, New York (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) — A reputable New York law firm recently filed a claim against the City of New York as well as the city’s police department on behalf of a man allegedly attacked by police officers. The incident, which occurred on the 19th of August was highly publicized and resulted in two female officers being accused of road rage.
The two NYPD officers, Michelle Anglin and Kollen Robinson, were reportedly off duty when Marlon Smith approached them in his vehicle after seeing the possible assault of another motorist. Smith was allegedly verbally abused by the officers as well as sprayed with mace and beaten.
The 35-year old was also allegedly pistol whipped and attacked with a baton in the head and torso. Smith sustained severe injuries in the attack, which required him to receive 25 staples in his scalp. Anglin and Robinson were arrested and charged with assault in addition to criminal weapon possession. The two have subsequently been suspended from their positions in the New York City police department. Both are currently out on bail, which ranged from $10,000 to $25,000.
For victims of personal injury caused by assault or excessive force by law enforcement, it may be necessary to contact a personal injury attorney in their area to determine whether they are entitled to compensation for medical expenses and other damages as provided under personal injury law.
