He can talk to his attorney. If the case isn’t ongoing and the attorney hasn;t the papers, he can make a request of the Brooklyn DA’s office pursuant to FoIL. If the case was prosecuted and wasn’t dismissed, the court should have a copy of police records of its own, and these are supposed to be public. However, the prosecutor’s file will likely have more paperwork depending on how far the case proceeded short of trial.
