Baraka’s suit alleges false arrest and malicious prosecution: “The way Mayor Baraka was treated at Delaney Hall was outrageous. It is beyond clear that there was never any legal or factual basis to arrest or charge him. The administration's playing politics with our justice system is disgraceful.” ### Print Email Share Previous Article Next Article About Contact Media Issues Services
