Monday, December 16, 2019
BOERUM HILL, Brooklyn (WABC) -- New York City will pay $625,000 to resolve a lawsuit filed by the mother caught in a tug of war when police officers yanked her toddler from her arms.
The controversial incident happened last December at a benefits office in Brooklyn.
Jazmine Headley sued the city in August, alleging trauma and humiliation and seeking unspecified damages.
In February, the City Council offered her a public apology.
