Ways to Support ABHM?

A Brooklyn man claims he was kicked in the testicles so hard by NYPD cops that he had to have one of them surgically removed.Corey_green

Corey Green, 32, was in a Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment playing cards with friends Saturday when cops busted in looking for a robbery suspect, said his dad, John Green, 52.

Cops took everyone downstairs so that the victim could try to identify the robber from the back of a police cruiser. As they asked the men to provide identification, Corey, a father of two, began walking away, his dad admitted.

Police threw Green to the ground “and were kicking his genitals,” the elder Green said.

His son, who had a warrant for drunken driving, had emergency surgery.

“They removed one of his testicles,” the dad said. “They stomped his testicles into his stomach.”

A police spokesman said Green collided with a scaffold as he eluded cops.

Internal Affairs is investigating.
