Black man led on a rope by US police sues for US$1 million

AN African-American man who was arrested and led by a rope by two white Texas police officers has sued the US city of Galveston for US$1 million (RM4.2 million) in damages, his lawyer told AFP yesterday.

Donald Neely was detained for trespassing in August 2019 by two mounted police officers, who handcuffed him, tied a rope to his restraints and led him away.
