Strip-searched suspect speaks out about Officer Pantaleo

Sarah Wallace

NEW YORK (WABC) -- NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo is under investigation for using an apparent chokehold on Eric Garner, the man who died last week after police attempted to take him into custody.

Now another man is speaking out, saying he had a run-in with the same officer two years ago.

Darren Collins says he lived to tell his story, but he hasn't spoken until now because he says he was worried for his safety and that of his family. But he says the Garner case changed everything.

"I was hurt, embarrassed. I was violated. It was illegal," Collins said.
