Bryant “B.J.” Henry Jr.

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Bryant Henry was allegedly selling water when officers attempted to arrest him on suspicion of drug possession. He fled into a subway station where witnesses say officers tasered him, causing him to lose his balance and fall on electrified rail tracks, landing on the "third rail," killing him. The police department argues that they did not deploy any Tasers and that Henry simply fell onto the rail tracks while trying to escape their pursuit.
