A New York woman is suing after she says one of her breast implants burst when she was thrown to the floor by cops during a raid on a makeshift brothel she was working at.
Alyssa Lloyd, from Queens, has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, according to the New York Post.
She says during the incident, stitches from her cosmetic surgery — which she had after a mastectomy — were ripped out. She also alleges she was denied treatment by officers and jail officials at Rikers Island.
From the New York Post:
The 45-year-old said she was working as a scheduling secretary for a prostitute at an Upper East Side apartment, when they were targeted by an NYPD sting operation in 2013.An undercover officer gave Lloyd a $100 bill as payment for the sexual services. Lloyd started to leave the room, and suddenly a group of officers raided the location, court papers state.“A number of police officers . . . broke down the door and entered the apartment. [Lloyd] was thrown to the floor, aggravating the saline leakage from her right expander,” the suit says.
Robert Perry, Lloyd’s lawyer, says the implants were seriously damaged and “she’s been unable to have her breast reconstruction surgery due to their deliberate indifference to her serious medical needs.”
The city has denied the claims, saying that no police officers recall her making any complaints. They also say she refused medical treatment.
