Philadelphia has reached an agreement to pay a total of $9.25 million to more than 200 people who were injured during the police response to protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020.

The record-breaking settlement was announced Monday by law firm Mincey Fitzpatrick Ross, LLC, which represented 237 people who were injured during protests held in Philadelphia on May 31 and June 1, 2020, FOX29 Philadelphia reported.

The city will also stop participating in a federal program that provides extra military equipment to local police departments.

As part of the settlement, Philadelphia agreed to pay $500,000 for counseling services for residents in the 52nd Street corridor in West Philadelphia who were victims of police violence, the report said.

Plaintiffs in the four federal lawsuits filed against the city described various physical ailments during the confrontation with police, including nerve damage from zip ties and scars from rubber bullets.

Some reported that exposure to noxious chemical agents such as tear gas and pepper spray required hospitalization and caused mental trauma, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
