Derek Chauvin Faces New Excessive Force Lawsuit from Minneapolis City Worker

Patricia Day alleges Chauvin used his notorious knee restraint during a 2020 arrest, causing lasting injuries.

Patricia Day has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Derek Chauvin, Officer Ellen Jensen, and the City of Minneapolis.
Day claims Chauvin violently arrested her, pressing his knee into her back, similar to his actions against George Floyd.
The lawsuit details multiple injuries Day sustained, including a broken tooth and a deep hand gash.
Day's charges were eventually dismissed due to lack of probable cause and mishandling by the officers.
The lawsuit seeks over $9 million in damages and calls for policy changes in the Minneapolis Police Department.
