Brooklyn man’s catcall ends in handcuffs: lawsuit

This sexy catcall in Brooklyn ended in handcuffs — and not the pink fuzzy kind.

A vivacious vixen’s flirty hiss at a man pulled over for a traffic violation wrongly led a jealous cop to toss the motorist in jail last winter, a lawsuit alleges.

Josue Pierre-Louis, 24, was driving to a friend’s house on Feb. 27 when cops in an unmarked car stopped him as he tried to make a turn at the corner of Rockaway and Belmont avenues in Brownsville.

Pierre-Louis was about to hand over his license and registration to Detective Frank Sarrica when the sexy woman “makes a cat-like, hissing sound,” he recalled.

“Total stranger,” Pierre-Louis said. “I don’t know this girl.

“She makes this catcall sound, and [Sarrica] steps away from my vehicle, and he goes towards her with open arms, like he’s going to get her number.

“And she says, ‘Ha! Not you. The driver,’ ” Pierre-Louis told The Post.

Rejected, Sarrica returned to the car, where his partner and Pierre-Louis were giggling at him.

“The guy is heated,” Pierre-Louis said. “He was like, ‘You think that’s funny?’ And he starts grabbing my clothing.”

The angry officer and his partner “assaulted [Pierre-Louis], forcibly dragged him from his vehicle, and falsely arrested him.” Excessively tight handcuffs were applied to Mr. Pierre-Louis’s wrists,” the lawsuit claims.

The cops hit Pierre-Louis with a bevy of false charges, says the suit — including failing to signal, marijuana possession, resisting arrest, misdemeanor assault, and obstructing governmental administration.

“There was no marijuana in my possession at all,” Pierre-Louis said. “I haven’t even the slightest clue why I was even pulled over.”

The lawsuit accuses the officers of an “unlawful stop and search.”

All the charges against Pierre-Louis have been adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, say court papers.

But Pierre-Louis says he still spent 48 hours locked up at Brooklyn central booking.

And as for the flirty woman? She “actually walked away,” Pierre-Louis said. “She went home to dinner. So did the two officers. Everyone got to go home except for me.”

Sarrica could not be reached for comment, and the city Law Department declined to comment because it has not yet seen the suit.
