Suffolk County and its police department are facing a federal lawsuit from a Long Island man who says he was beaten and terrorized by officers.

News 12 has learned the suit filed by Christopher Loeb alleges five Suffolk officers directed a police dog to attack him, seriously injuring him.

The 36-year-old was arrested in March of 2019 after police say he tried to run over officers, deliberately crashed into a police car and drove across lawns to get away.

A police helicopter eventually located Loeb and a police dog retrieved him.

Loeb’s attorney says that attack was linked to his client's efforts to bring ex-Chief of Department James Burke and other officials to justice after a prison assault in 2012.
