A man who suffered third-degree burns across his body after Phoenix officers pinned him face-down on the scorching-hot pavement has taken the first step to file a federal lawsuit against the city.
A Phoenix man who suffered horrific, third-degree burns across his face, arms, legs, and torso from being pinned to the ground by police officers is set to sue the city for a staggering $15 million.
A Phoenix police spokeswoman confirmed to ABC15 that the significant surge of calls on New Year's Eve coincided with a 30-minute disruption in 911 service. It was the second time in a week.
