Cop harassed me twice, caused miscarriage: suit

A BRONX woman claims she suffered a miscarriage after an NYPD lieutenant with a vendetta pepper-sprayed her and tossed her against a wall, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Norma Reyes, 30, and her boyfriend filed a complaint with the city last year after they say they were harassed by Lt. Raymond Meyer during a traffic stop in the South Bronx, according to the suit.

About a month later, Meyer and another cop from the 41st Precinct detained Reyes’ boyfriend’s then-16-year-old cousin outside of a building in Hunts Point, the suit says.

The teen was sitting on the building’s stoop, blocking the entryway, according to police.

Reyes and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Julius Segar, began videotaping the stop and pleading with Meyer to leave the teen alone.

“Yeah, all this. Again, again, again,” Segar says in the video of the May 15, 2016, incident. “Get off him, he’s a minor.”

A plainclothes cop wearing a Yankee hat (photo) — identified as Meyer in the suit — presses Segar’s cousin, Kurt Gorin, against a wall in the clip.

The cop then pulls a small canister from his pocket before he and another officer force Gorin to the ground. More cops arrive and Meyer instructs his colleagues to “take them all” as he advances on the group.

Gorin, Reyes and Segar were all hit with pepper spray and Reyes, 10 weeks pregnant at the time, was slammed against a wall by officers, according to the lawsuit.

Reyes noticed that she was bleeding after being placed in the back of a police car.

She “alerted the transporting officers that she was pregnant, was bleeding between her legs, and needed immediate medical treatment,” the suit says.

Cops ignored her cries for help and took her to the 41st Precinct stationhouse, where she claims she was refused medical attention and was booked for arrest.

The group were also denied access to a bathroom to wash the pepper spray from their faces for an “extended period of time,” the suit says.

Reyes was eventually taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where she learned she had suffered a miscarriage.

According to the suit, the cops’ “deliberate indifference prevented plaintiff from receiving immediate gynecological treatment, which upon information and belief may have been able to prevent her miscarriage.”

While Reyes, Segar and Gorin were initially charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, the district attorney’s office declined to prosecute the trio.

“This is another unfair example of police officers making criminals of ordinary people,” said attorney Nicholas Mindicino, who filed the suit in Manhattan Federal Court on Tuesday.

Reyes “has recovered as best as can be expected,” Mindicino told the Daily News. “The lasting injuries are mental more than anything else.”

Reyes, Segar and Gorin are seeking monetary damages for their “emotional trauma and suffering, including fear, embarrassment, humiliation, emotional distress, frustration, extreme inconvenience, anxiety, loss of liberty and physical pain and suffering.”

The lawsuit goes on to blame the city for fostering a “culture within the NYPD where the same officers, the same units, and the same precincts repeatedly and routinely engage in acts of misconduct.”

The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.

The city Law Department declined to comment as it’s a pending case.

“We will review the complaint once we are served,” a spokeswoman said.
