GLENDALE — A lawsuit against five Glendale Police officers that alleges the officers physically attacked a 63-year-old Montrose man in 2004 will go to trial in July. Yeghia Shekerdemian claims officers used undue force during an unwarranted arrest Sept. 28, 2004, causing "such severe pain that he started crying and lost consciousness," according to court documents filed at Los Angeles Superior Court. The suit claims that on Sept. 28, 2004, four Glendale officers pounced on Shekerdemian at about 5 p.m. after he yelled at a plain-clothed undercover officer to get off his front lawn in the 4400 block of Young Drive in Montrose.
