A rally is being planned today at the Reverend Al Sharpton's Harlem headquarters in support of the man who claims he was sexually assaulted by police.

Michael Mineo, 24, says the attack happened at the Prospect Park subway station on October 15 between 1 and 2 p.m.

Mineo and his lawyers claim five police officers beat and sodomized him with a police radio antenna.

"One of the officers placed a knee behind Mr. Mineo's neck, the other officers pinned Mr. Mineo down and the officer then reached onto his belt, removed his walkie-talkie, and repeatedly and viciously put the walkie-talkie into the rectum of Mr. Mineo," said Mineo’s attorney Stephen Jackson.

"They gave him a disorderly conduct ticket and said don't go to any authorities don't go to any hospital if you do we will arrest you again," said Kevin Mosley, another Mineo attorney.

Medical records from Brookdale University Medical Center indicate doctors diagnosed Mineo as suffering an anal assault.

He was released from the hospital Sunday but returned yesterday to Brooklyn Hospital. Mineo is said to be in stable condition.

The NYPD is denying Mineo's claims, saying they are not supported by independent civilian witnesses at the scene.

Officers say they grappled with Mineo after they caught him smoking marijuana and he resisted arrest.

The five accused officers remain on active duty as the NYPD and the Brooklyn district attorney investigate.

Witnesses are being asked to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the Brooklyn district attorney's office at 1-718-250-2759.
