Marc Grossman, Senior Partner of the law firm of Sanders, Sanders, Block, Woycik, Viener & Grossman, P.C. in Bronx, New York, announced today that it has just filed a Notice of Claim against The City of New York and The New York City Police Department on behalf of Cyle Perry-Osby with regard to the injuries he sustained when he was violently assaulted by 2 female New York City Police Officers in the highly publicized incident of August 15, 2008. The filing of the Notice of Claim is a pre-requisite to filing a lawsuit against The City of New York.

Cyle Perry-Osby was driving on 218th Street in the Bronx when he came upon New York City Police Officers Michelle Anglin and Koleen Robinson, who were assaulting a motorist at the intersection of White Plains Road and 218th Street. When Mr. Osby questioned the 2 females as to what was happening, one of the officers replied "You don't know who you're f---ing with, we're the f---ing cops." The officers then sprayed mace on Mr. Osby and struck him in the head and face. One of the officers then held a gun to Mr. Osby's face, causing Mr. Osby to fear for his life, before the officers finally left the scene.

Mr. Osby was immediately treated at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center for a severe head injury and will require continued medical attention.

Mr. Osby was only trying to be a good Samaritan and assist a man he saw was in trouble. Mr. Osby is with his family now trying to recover and is thankful that arrests have been made in this case. Attorney Michael Villeck, Esq. of the firm believes "It's a terrible injustice when people abuse their position of power. When those entrusted with preserving civility and protecting the public commit this type of horrendous act and cause serious injury to innocent civilians, the entire city suffers."

The firm has received broad media coverage over its recently filed product liability lawsuits against Pfizer, Inc., the manufacturer of the hugely popular Chantix smoking cessation drug; and for its role in the ground-breaking $4.85Billion Vioxx settlement against Merck & Co.
