The Associated Press is reporting that an Emirati man detained at a Cleveland hotel after a clerk heard him speaking Arabic and thought he was a terrorist has sued the hotel chain, police and others.
The federal lawsuit filed Wednesday says Avon police put him on the ground and treated him roughly before realizing he wasn't a terrorist.
The lawsuit says Al-Menhali was taken to a hospital afterward and had undergone open heart surgery in February 2016. It is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
A Marriott International spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit."
