Alexander Bok, the man who was roughed up by New York police when he was caught dancing just feet away from a cop, is filing a $5 million lawsuit against the department.
The video of the incident was uploaded to the Internet. Bok explained that he was filming a dance dare for the Ellen DeGeneres Show when cops became overly aggressive with him and eventually threw him to the ground. Video of the incident went online in late December. TMZ reports that the lawsuit is claiming that cops violated his freedom of speech and used excessive force.
