Plaintiff:
Osmar Rodriguez
Incident date:
06/20/2009
Location:
2552 W. Division St.
Allegations:
Rodriguez was at a barbershop with his wife and two young children one evening. His father, who lived above the barbershop, was having a few families and friends over to celebrate the Puerto Rican People's Parade, which had occurred earlier that day. Around 9 p.m., an individual entered the barbershop and began behaving inappropriately. Rodriguez asked the individual to leave. As Rodriguez escorted the person outside the shop, Sergeant Sanchez tackled Rodriguez to the sidewalk, hitting Rodriguez's head on the concrete. Sanchez ignored Rodriguez's injuries, and Rodriguez went to the hospital to receive treatment.
