New York City has agreed to pay up to $6 million to protesters roughed up by the NYPD during a George Floyd demonstration in the Bronx.
The proposed legal settlement filed late Tuesday in Manhattan Federal Court is expected to shell out at least $21,500 a piece to more than 300 people who demonstrated against police brutality and systemic racism in the Mott Haven on June 4, 2020.
The deal, which U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon must approve, represents the largest per-person class-action settlement connected to mass arrests at a protest, according to lawyers for the demonstrators.
