A Camden man is filing suit against law enforcement officials in the city alleging police brutality during his arrest in June that left him paralyzed, according to his lawyer.

During his arrest on June 12, officers allegedly "stomped" on the neck and back of Xavier Ingram, 21, of Camden, causing his current disability from the neck down, according to court filings announced by Beth G. Baldinger of the law firm Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman, LLC.

Due to Ingram's injuries sustained during the incident, the Camden County Police Department referred the case for review to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and an investigation into officer conduct is ongoing.

Law enforcement officials cite video footage that purportedly shows Ingram slipping on wet pavement as he allegedly attempted to flee, but Baldinger claims additional video of the scene has been withheld.

Additionally, Baldinger claims officers beat and arrested bystander Darren Dickerson after he attempted to intervene on behalf of Ingram.

Legal representation and family members of Ingram are set to host a press conference Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. at the Camden CoLab building at 200 Federal St., according to Baldinger, laying out their complaints in the incident.

"Ingram's tragic injury appears to be an accident of his own accord," Camden Police Chief J. Scott Thomson said in wake of the incident. "The arresting officers displayed composure throughout the incident and had the presence of mind to immediately render aid and summon medical assistance."

Officers reportedly found bags of heroin in Ingram's pockets when he was taken into custody.

Ingram was charged in the incident with receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, being a certain person not to possess a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and drug possession.
