A Brooklyn parent plans to sue the city after a school aide punched his then-11-year-old autistic son in the face in 2014.
The boy’s father, Anatoly Veltman Sr., announced his plans to sue the city for $5 million in damages—both physical and emotional—on Monday, April 4, after he and his attorney, Sanford Rubenstein, saw the surveillance video of the unexpected punch that took place at a cafeteria table. The footage took over a year to obtain by a court order, reported MRCTV.
I saw a huge blue bruise above his eye, it was a big bump and it was clear to me he was punched with great force.
