A Bronx teen suing the NYPD after several officers beat him has settled the lawsuit with the city.
Jateik Reed and his lawyers claimed he was wrongfully stopped-and-frisked by police officers in the Bronx back in January 2012, and they say what followed was an outrage.
Reed was hit with police batons and kicked by NYPD officers — and it was all caught on cell phone and building surveillance video.
Jateik Reed — who was 19 at the time — and his friends were walking on East 167th Street when police officers approached and searched Reed.
When he tried to get away, multiple officers jumped on him and beat him. Some continued to kick him after him was apprehended.
Police officers said he had crack and marijuana on him and that's why he was stopped.
No drugs were recovered, and the charges against the teen were dropped.
Nearly five years later, the city and the NYPD has settled with Reed for $400,000. His mother and brother, who say they were arrested after they went to the precinct to complain, have also reached a settlement with the city.
The NYPD did not have a comment for NY1. The city's law department simply says settling the matter was in the best interest of the city.
The Reed family and their lawyers are now calling for all of the officers involved to be fired by the NYPD.
