A woman is suing the New York City Police Department (NYPD), for violating her civil rights when officers pepper-sprayed her entire family, including her two kids, a 2-year-old and 5-month-old baby.
Marilyn Taylor accuses Officers Maripily Clase, Suranjit Dey and Jermaine Hodge of overacting when they saw her pushing the stroller through a service entrance instead of going through the subway turnstile, Courthouse News Service reported, according to Raw Story.
According to the complaint, officers told her 4-year-old child that “everything will be OK,” but then began pepper-spraying the entire family.
“After the attack, mother and father suffered ongoing eye injuries and all three children suffer emotional harms, and are now afraid to ride the subways and become afraid when they see police officers,” the lawsuit notes. “The four year-old cried herself to sleep for weeks, and after the incident the two-year-old began waking up in the night crying for her mother.”
