Allegations:
Murphy was riding his bike on the sidewalk when an unmarked car suddenly pulled onto the curb in front of him. At least one police officer got out of the vehicle. When Murphy swerved onto the street to avoid the officer, a marked squad car accelerated toward Murphy and hit him twice, knocking him to the ground. Several police officers approached Murphy and handcuffed him. The officers filed false charges against Murphy, including resisting a police officer, and Murphy was taken into custody. He was then transferred to the hospital for medical treatment of his injuries. All criminal charges against Murphy were dismissed, aside from the violation of riding a bicycle on a sidewalk.
