Charges dropped against man beaten by police

NEW YORK

District Attorney /*Charles Hynes*/ says, "After review of all available evidence, we decided to dismiss the charges against Ehud Haleavy."

Haleavy was facing resisting arrest and assault charges after a confrontation in a Jewish community center in /*Crown Heights*/ earlier this month.

Center officials say the tape shows the officers used excessive force.

The officers, who say Haleavy resisted arrest, are on modified duty pending an internal investigation.
