Criminal charges have been brought against five New Haven, Connecticut, police officers after a man was seriously injured while in police custody in June.
When another vehicle went though a stop sign at Division and Mansfield streets, Diaz stopped quickly to avoid a crash and Cox slid forward and hit the metal partition in the van, fell facedown to the floor and called for help, according to the arrest warrant application.
Cox was brought to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he was diagnosed to have a fractured neck and paralysis from the chin down. New Haven officials announced a series of police reforms this summer stemming from the case, including eliminating the use of police vans for most prisoner transports and using marked police vehicles instead. They also require officers to immediately call for an ambulance to respond to their location if the prisoner requests or appears to need medical aid.
