The Brooklyn man who says he was brutally attacked during a confrontation with four city police officers testified before a grand jury Thursday.

Michael Mineo, 24, says the officers beat him and sodomized him with a foreign object, after they tried to arrest him at the Prospect Park subway station.

After giving his testimony today, Mineo thanked all of his friends who have supported him through the ordeal. He said he has gained strength from their belief in what happened.

Mineo did not discuss the details of his testimony, but said he believes he will see justice served.

"At first I felt like people weren't believing me. And now that things are coming to light I feel a little bit better," said Mineo. "I know these cops are going to be brought to justice, I'm going to receive justice. That's what I want because I wouldn't want this to be done to anybody."

There were originally no witnesses to back up his claims but a transit officer may now come forward to back up at least part of Mineo's account.

Mineo's lawyers said that most of the testimony given Thursday supports their client's account and that they believe indictments will be filed.

While the incident happened last month, the officers were placed on desk duty this week, amid reports a transit officer who witnessed the incident has come forward to back up at least some of Mineo's claims.

Meanwhile, the City Law Department confirmed Thursday that the city had paid $50,000 to settle two excessive-force suits against one of the officers involved in the alleged attack. Officer Richard Kern has been on the force for four years.

According to the Daily News, both lawsuits came out of an incident in 2007, when two men said they were beaten by officers in a Flatbush apartment building. One of the men also accused the officers of lying to prosecutors to have him charged with trespassing – even though he lived in the building.

A spokesman for the City Law Department said, "the settlements were in the best interests of all parties."
