The Yonkers City Council is considering awarding the money to Rudolph Boone, who has accused the officers of punching and kicking him to the ground in a gated parking lot at the back of his Lafayette Place home on April 11, 2013, according to lohud.com, which reported that Boone claims to have suffered a broken nose during the incident.
