By TED THORNHILL
A man was left needing hospital treatment after police punched and kneed him, struck him with batons and set a police dog on him that bit his neck and head.
David Connor Castellani, 20, was charged with aggravated assault after the incident, but is suing Atlantic City police for using excessive force.
The incident occurred on an Atlantic City street in the early hours of June 5 this year.
Mr Castellani had been ejected from a casino for being under-age and the footage, taken by the casinos CCTV system, begins with him remonstrating with police officers.
A short while later three officers run up to Mr Castellani just after he shrugs his shoulders, and wrestle him to the ground.

(34,485 posts)I just saw the footage of clearly police brutality. And to top it off, the copy with the K9 adds to the brutality where the dog is constantly biting this kid. Unbelievable. I feel so bad for his parents as they witnessed this video.
