SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 6 – Manuel Peralta had finished his shift at a Bronx deli when at 4 a.m. in front of his building he was assaulted then arrested by undercover NYPD officers, he says. He sued.
On October 6 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Peralta says "it is clear that the video of the running body-worn camera was destroyed, or cut off, damaged, and purposely, to spoliation of the evidence to prevent access to the court."
Judge Woods inquired into the failure to train allegation.
The case is Peralta v. Vasquez et al., 21-cv-605 (Woods)
