Jersey City has agreed to pay a city resident $14,500 to settle a police brutality lawsuit the man filed two years ago, court records show.

In a federal lawsuit initially filed Sept. 3, 2014, Tevin Henry accused more than a dozen police officers of assaulting him after they ordered him to stop while he was riding a bicycle on Winfield Avenue at 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 1, 2012.

Henry said in his lawsuit that he dropped the bike and put his hands in the air when the police officers ordered him to stop. The lawsuit also says the police officers “pushed (Henry’s) face into the ground and began hitting him with flashlights and night sticks in the face.”

Police also “twisted his ankles and kicked and stepped on his chest,” Henry said in the lawsuit.” Henry said he was handcuffed and accused of carrying a gun, but when he was searched police found only a flashlight and they smashed it, the lawsuit said.

Jersey City officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The settlement, first reported by John Paff on his njcivilsettlements.blogspot.com website, was approved by the Jersey City City Council — by a 9-0 vote — at its Aug. 17 meeting.

The lawsuit alleged excessive force, brutality and assault and battery by police. The lawsuit also said Henry suffered “severe and grievous permanent injuries,” but it did not specify the injuries.

According to federal electronic court records, the Jersey City Police Department is a defendant in 16 cases.
