Garner vid guy suing over bust

THE MAN who filmed the police chokehold that killed Eric Garner has filed a lawsuit from prison against the NYPD, alleging that cops wrongly arrested him at a protest last year.

Ramsey Orta, who is serving four years on unrelated gun and drug charges, says the NYPD unfairly targeted him for arrest at an anti-police brutality demonstration on Sept. 21, 2016, on Fifth Ave. near E. 29th St. He was slapped with a summons for disorderly conduct and blocking traffic, which was later dismissed, the suit says.

“The New York City Police Department and right-wing media have constantly harassed the plaintiff,” the suit says.

Orta, 26, is the only person present at the scene of Garner’s death on July 17, 2014 who has gone to prison, the lawsuit notes.
