NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man says two off-duty New York City police officers attacked him when he tried to help a driver they were battering over a traffic dispute.
Cyle Perry-Osby filed a notice of claim Friday. The notice is the first step toward suing the city.
The officers are accused of attacking a motorist whose open car door was blocking traffic in the Bronx Aug. 15. They have pleaded not guilty to gang assault and have been stripped of their guns and badges. One of their lawyers said Friday "another side of the story" will emerge.
Perry-Osby says he witnessed the attack, went to help the victim and was assaulted by the officers. His lawyer says Perry-Osby was sprayed with mace, hit in the head and hospitalized.
City lawyers say they can't comment because they haven't reviewed the legal papers
