Wright claims he was “mentally devastated” after being “falsely” arrested last year for leaving the scene of an accident, and threatened while spending a day in jail.
The Manhattan Democratic Party boss denied wrongdoing, saying he spent more than 40 minutes at the scene with the injured rider after the Aug. 26 accident, which unfolded just before 9 p.m.
The e-bike rider was speeding, had no headlamp or flashing lights, didn’t call 911 himself and refused help at the scene, Wright said in court papers filed against the city and NYPD Detective Lamont Deadrick, who arrested him. Wright claims he feared for his life while locked up for more than 24 hours in a cell at Manhattan Criminal Court, where he endured “threats of physical violence by other incarcerated individuals” and “high levels of humiliation.”Getty Images/iStockphoto
Other inmates “started calling him ‘Pops,’ ‘old man,’ ‘grandpa,’ and were trying to intimidate him. That’s frightening,” Wright’s lawyer, Kenneth Ramseur, told The Post. “And of course, not to mention how filthy it was.” He was “so mentally devastated and embarrassed by his arrest that he was somewhat dysfunctional,” court papers claim.The attorney questioned why Wright wasn’t simply given a desk appearance ticket.
