Security footage shows six police kicking and beating a man before setting a dog on him [View all]
By TED THORNHILL
A man was left needing hospital treatment after police punched and kneed him, struck him with batons – and set a police dog on him that bit his neck and head.
David Connor Castellani, 20, was charged with aggravated assault after the incident, but is suing Atlantic City police for using excessive force.
The incident occurred on an Atlantic City street in the early hours of June 5 this year.
Mr Castellani had been ejected from a casino for being under-age and the footage, taken by the casino’s CCTV system, begins with him remonstrating with police officers.
A short while later three officers run up to Mr Castellani just after he shrugs his shoulders, and wrestle him to the ground.
