The group of an understudy slugged by a cop and pummeled to the ground on a Brooklyn metro stage is recording a $5 million notice of case against the official and the NYPD, their attorney said Tuesday. Benjamin Marshall, 15, was punched in the face by a cop during a scuffle that broke out inside the Jay St.- MetroTech tram station Friday evening.
The Science Skills Center High School understudy was one of five teenagers captured during the wild, got on-camera fight that began after two enormous gatherings went to blows in a battle that began over the ground. In any case, Benjamin's vexed guardians said their child wasn't even in the battle. They said he pursued his companion into the station to get his knapsack.
“While he went down into the train station, there was a lot of cops, a lot of students,” said Benjamin's father, Anthony Noel, 53. “They were arresting a couple people. When he got down on the platform, one of his friends called out to him, and when he looked over, he got punched multiple times by a police officer in his head. Then he was slammed to the ground."
“About six of them or eight of them were on top of him. One put his knee in his neck. He kept saying, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,’ and they would not let up. They handcuffed him. Slammed him into a sign.”

“This police officer’s actions were out of control,” Rubenstein said. ”He was not part of or involved in the melee that was ongoing at the train station. For a police officer to punch a 15 year old in the face when he was doing nothing wrong is simply unacceptable.”
The thunder between two enormous gatherings began over the ground on Jay St. before everybody ran into the station, authorities said. As cops were brought in to suppress the battle, one of the adolescents punched an official, police said.
