New York City has reached a $750,000 settlement with a woman who alleged that police kept her in shackles as she went into labor and gave birth to her son during a 2018 arrest.

Civil rights firm Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel and the New York City Legal Aid Society appeared for the plaintiff, who is identified as Jane Doe in court papers and who claimed in a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York that she was 40 weeks pregnant when police arrested her at home on a misdemeanor assault charge in December 2018.
