A woman demands justice after her left eye was allegedly gouged out by an officer when she attempted to intervene with her then boyfriend’s drug arrest.
It’s been almost a year since Johanna Pagan-Alomar lost her left eye during an encounter with New York City police.
Prosecutors initially charged Pagan-Alomar with a single felony charge for assaulting an officer, but that has since been dismissed. Pagan-Alomar still faces misdemeanor charges and faces jail time if convicted, court records show. Only the beginning of the incident was caught by surveillance video. The video shows Lustica placing an item in Pagan-Alomar's face before walking away with the handcuffed suspect. Pagan-Alomar is then seen raising her right hand as Lustica's back is turned before a scuffle ensued. It does not capture the moment that Pagan-Alomar said her eye was struck.
"So much pain, so much pain, so much pain," said Pagan-Alomar, as she remembered sitting in the precinct."She destroyed my life with what she did," said Pagan-Alomar, who is now disabled and unable to work. Lustica allegedly received a busted lip during the brawl, according to a photograph obtained by ABC News.
