Derell Mickles, 37, was shot by NYPD officers on a crowded subway platform after allegedly skipping a fare and threatening them with a knife. Mickles remains hospitalized and unable to walk. His lawyer argues that disproportionate force may have been used.
A man who police shot on a crowded Brooklyn subway platform Sunday — after, the NYPD says, he skipped a fare and threatened officers with a knife — remains in a hospital bed and unable to walk, his attorney said Friday.
In the Brooklyn Supreme Court hearing, Judge Danny Chun ordered Mickles, who pleaded not guilty, be held on $200,000 cash bail, $1.5 million insurance company bond or $1.5 million partially secured bond.to release body-worn camera footage of the incident — in which police gunfire also struck three other people — within days.
Mickles faces seven to 20 years in prison for the charge of attempting to assault a police officer, Prosecutor Steven Bravo said at the hearing. That, and Mickles prior “contacts with the criminal justice system,” were reasons for the judge to set bail and not release Mickles on his own recognizance, Bravo said.
“I believe that the NYPD was reckless in dispersing their guns in front of citizens, and I just think there should be an investigation,” Gregory Nougues, one of Delpeche’s cousins, said earlier this week.
