The incident prompted the Bah family to file a $70 million civil lawsuit against New York City.[3][4][5] The lawsuit demanded the city implement changes in the way police deal with people suffering from a mental illness.[6]
In 2017, the Bah family settled in court for $2.21 million. The officers were found to have used unnecessary force but did not face charges.[7]
