The notice of claim alleges mistaken force by two NYPD officers and seeks damages from the city after bystander video went viral.
- Timothy Brown filed a $100 million legal claim against the New York Police Department on Tuesday, stemming from a botched drug arrest on April 14 at a Brooklyn liquor store.
- Two NYPD officers from the Brooklyn North Narcotics Unit mistakenly identified Brown as a drug dealer's associate, tackling him and bashing him against glass inside the liquor store.
- Brown's lawyers allege officers failed to activate body cameras and were texting on personal phones, both NYPD violations; Brown now walks with a cane from his injuries.
- Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the officers' actions after the video went viral, leading Tisch to disband the unit and announce a 90-day enforcement review.
- Brown stated he will "never be the same," while his mother, Donna Brown, expressed being "disgusted" that no city officials have contacted them about the incident.
