A Cambridge man has filed a complaint with Massachusetts state police accusing three troopers of brutality during a traffic stop in Watertown last month.
Twenty-five-year-old Michael Dodd says he had to go to a hospital to get treatment for a broken wrist and multiple abrasions and contusions after he posted bail at the state police barracks in Brighton on April 29.
Dodd says he was on his way home after working late at his family's restaurant when a trooper pulled him over for a cracked tail light. He says two more troopers arrived, and he claims the three officers beat him with their feet, fists and flashlights.
State police officials say Dodd had to be subdued because he became combative. Authorities say they stand behind the troopers, but they are investigating the incident.
