We can have police efforts focused on pedestrian safety without violating the civil rights of our citizens, said Wongs lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, who will file a notice of the lawsuit on Monday, naming the city, NYPD and unidentified officers as defendants.
Wong maintains the traffic signal was green when he stepped off the curb at the southeast corner of 96th St. and Broadway to cross, but it may have turned red by the time the octogenarian reached the other side, where an unidentified cop stopped him and demanded to see his identification.
Wong speaks only Cantonese and Spanish, but understood the meaning of the officers demand for ID.
When the cop began walking away with his card, Wong said he followed after him. I was very puzzled and I was very scared, he said. I had no idea why I had been stopped. I used Cantonese and said give me back my ID.
In response to Wongs repeated requests for his card back, the cop whipped out handcuffs and spoke into his portable radio. I got more scared, Wong said.
Several officers raced over and grabbed Wong, pushing him against the wall of a building. Wong said he was pushed to the ground and struck his head, blacking out. When he regained consciousness, blood was streaming down his face and his hands were cuffed behind his back.

Give it up brother, you ran out of any arguments you may have had long ago and all you're doing is digging your hole deeper by resorting to name calling......
Maybe it's because YOU are supporting the actions of the NYPD......and all we are doing is responding to your very own comments supporting them?
Give me a frickin break!
How do you know who I am supporting?
You are an idiot!
That’s right. I support our local police. Our fireman and our military. If you don’t like it go pound salt. And just for your information I don’t give “frickin” breaks you tool.
Another thing genius. If you want argue about it I’ll be here all night.
Your thought provoking arguments are very persuasive.
And you dislike for law enforcement is very obvious.
Your slavish, badge polishing obedience to the police state is what’s obvious.
Yea right!
