New Haven, June 15 (RHC)-- The U.S. city of New Haven, Connecticut, has reached a historic $45 million settlement with Randy Cox, a Black man who was left paralyzed after he was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police van without a seat belt. 

After the van made an abrupt stop, Cox slid headfirst into a metal partition, seriously injuring his neck and spine.  Officers then ignored his pleas for help. 

Five police officers have pleaded “not guilty” to criminal charges including second-degree reckless endangerment.
