(L TO R) Anthony Aquino, Manuel Rondon, John Rodriguez, and Ariel Lopez celebrate after the city settled with them over a snowball incident with a NYPD transit officer Adonis Ramirez.




Five young men in the Bronx who filed a $ 10 million false arrest suit against the NYPD after a cop claimed they bombarded him with snowballs settled their case Thursday.


The terms of the settlement in Bronx Supreme Court weren’t released.
