[Javin] James claims after he yelled at the [NYPD], they tried to make sure he would not talk about what he saw. He says they came up to his apartment and broke his door in.

“When they surrounded me and looked at me with gloves on, I knew what was going to happen. I just had time to pull my glasses off. And by the time I did that, it was ‘boom’ [with a punch]. I did [put up my hands] like that to shield my face immediately. I tried to protect my face,” said James. “I’m shielding my face and this is exposed. He uses his right leg and stomps me here.”

James says then he was threatened.

“Forcibly told me, now tell me, ‘What you saw? Tell me if you saw anything. Tell me if you saw anything,’” said James. “So I said, ‘No,’ because of fear.”
