BOERUM HILL, Brooklyn — A mother whose toddler was taken from her in a tussle at a city benefits center received more than $600,000 in a settlement, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

Jazmine Headley's son was yanked from her arms back in December 2018; a video of the tussle with police went viral shortly after

Headley then spent days behind bars at Rikers Island, and later filed a lawsuit against New York City, Human Resources Administration peace officers and the NYPD.

The incident happened at 275 Bergen Street. The 23-year-old Brooklyn mom sat on the floor because there weren't any seats left, according to Monae Sinclair, the person who shared the video online. Then a security guard came over.

"She Made The Security Guard Feel Dumb So She Called The Cops On Her & This Was The Outcome," Sinclair wrote on Facebook.

She allegedly refused to leave despite requests from Human Resources Administration peace officers, police said. Headley "was then informed by police numerous times to leave the location, and she refused."

Headley was charged with resisting arrest, acting in a manner injurious to a child, obstructing governmental administration and criminal trespass.

The Daily News said Friday Headley received a $625,000 settlement from the city.

“They’re hurting my son. They’re hurting my son,” Headley was heard shouting in the now-viral video. “I’m begging you.”

The HRA had cut off child care benefits and Headley’s 1-year-old son couldn’t go to day care. Headley took the day off work and brought her son with her to the Boerum Hill HRA office and, tired after an hours-long wait, sat down on the floor. That’s when officers yanked her son, Damone, from Headley’s arms.

Criminal charges were dismissed shortly after Headley’s arrest, but the mom and her son “continue to experience the trauma of these events,” according to Headley’s attorneys.

“My son and I were unreasonably assaulted by untrained and undertrained HRA security officers and police officers. I am taking action so this experience

does not fester and infect our lives, work, relationships and health,” Headley said at the time of the lawsuit.
