Man in NYPD Abuse Case Leaves Hospital
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A Haitian immigrant allegedly beaten by police spent his first full day out of the hospital, sitting with his children and enjoying a home-cooked meal. Abner Louima was under heavy security after his Friday night departure from the Brooklyn Hospital Center, said his attorney, Brian Figeroux. Louima, 30, still requires round-the-clock nursing care and has a colostomy bag, Figeroux said. He had been hospitalized since he was allegedly beaten and sodomized with a broomstick Aug. 9 in a police station bathroom.
