Plaintiff:
Hector Ruben Delgado
Incident date:
07/04/2014
Location:
4301 W 30th St.
Allegations:
Delgado was walking on the sidewalk when the officers approached him. Thinking that it was a stop-and-frisk, Delgado raised his hands in surrender and walked toward the police car. One officer, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, threw Delgado to the ground and began hitting him in the head with a flashlight. The abuse continued until the officer handcuffed him and took him the police station. Despite his open wound and loss of blood, the officers denied Delgado medical attention until they finished interrogating him. Delgado was hospitalized and afterward found out he had been charged with aggravated battery to a police officer.
