NYPD Denies Victim's Claim Of Walkie-Talkie Sodomy
Attorneys: 5 Officers Attacked Michael Mineo Inside Subway Stop After Suspecting Him Of Smoking Pot
Man Spends 4 Days In Hospital, Which Contacts Brooklyn D.A.
Prosecutors are investigating allegations that five NYPD officers attacked a tattoo parlor worker and sodomized him with a walkie-talkie in a subway station.
The Police Department strongly denied the allegations.
"Police officers grappled with an individual who they observed smoking marijuana after he had fled and resisted being handcuffed. His assertion that he was sodomized is not supported by independent civilian witnesses on the scene," NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said in a statement.
The case was being investigated by police and the Brooklyn district attorney's office. Prosecutors said Friday they were setting up a local phone line -- 718-250-2759 -- for witnesses to come forward.
The accusations brought back memories of the 1997 assault of Abner Louima, who was beaten and sodomized with a broomstick in a police precinct by officers in one of the most notorious cases of police brutality in NYPD history.
