,M.J. Norwick, 77, Attacked By Corrections Officer
[From article]
The prisoner, identified as M . J . Norwick, 77, in the Manhattan federal court suit, had recently returned from Elmhurst Hospital after suffering a heart attack when correction officer Charlene Rosado allegedly attacked her on March 18, 2014.
“Without any warning of her intent to use extreme physical force, C.O. Rosado suddenly and violently pushed Norwick to the ground,” the suit states.
“DOC investigators reviewed video footage of the incident, describing that: In one motion, CO Rosado turns to inmate Norwick and appears to, with both hands, forcefully shove her at her shoulders straight down onto her back.”
Rosado then filled out a “use of force” report saying that Norwick fell “of her own accord,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit comes amid a raft of problems at the troubled jail.
Last week, two Rikers guards were arrested after one fatally kicked an ailing and restrained inmate, telling him as he lay dying, “That’s what you get for f—ing with me.”
