The incident occurred on the morning of February 6 while walking down the sidewalk in the neighbourhood, Patel, a permanent US resident, "was violently assaulted by a police official without provocation, and left partially paralysed," according to the 11-page lawsuit filed.
A day before, Patel had arrived in the United States to assist his son and daughter-in-law in caring for their 17-month-old child, who was developmentally delayed after a premature birth.
By the video and the proof which was given by the FBI, Patel is seen walking quietly in a sidewalk and not even peeping at any of the houses or garage as the police told in an non-emergency call it received from a neighbour, after which a police car was rushed to the neighbourhood.
In the video, two police officers are seen approaching Patel and asking him questions – like name, address and identity card. Patel is heard saying "No English" and pointing figure towards his son's home.Soon one of the police officer, later identified as Parker, is seen violently throwing Patel on the ground and threatening him not to leave. It is at this time it appears Patel was paralysed, apparently by shock. Moments later when the two police officers try to walk him, Patel is not able to stand on his own.
Muncey told reporters at a news conference "I sincerely apologise to Mr Patel, Mr Patel's family and our community. We strive to exceed expectations. Additionally FBI would be conducting a parallel inquiry to ascertain if there were any federal violations,"
"As a result of the investigations, I found that Parker's actions did not meet the high standard and expectations of the Madison City police department," he said, adding, that he (Muncey) has proposed termination of officer Parker, who has now been arrested for third-degree assault
