The incident took place on June 27, 2021 in the early morning hours in Dix Hills, where Mrs. O’Pharrow was rendering comfort and aid to a victim of a gunshot and was physically removed from the ambulance where she sat waiting to accompany the young man to the hospital as had been requested by him and his mother. At no time did Mrs. O’Pharrow do anything or take any action which warranted the use of physical force or would provide any officer with the right to place his hands on Mrs. O’Pharrow, no less verbally abuse her and engage in action beyond any reasonable behavior of police officers.
Mrs. O’Pharrow sustained multiple injuries including, but not limited to, shoulder and neck injuries and complications to existing medical conditions.
