The manager of a Manhattan Shake Shack has reportedly filed a federal lawsuit after he was falsely accused of trying to poison three NYPD officers with tainted milkshakes.

The Daily News reports 28-year-old Marcus Gilliam filed the lawsuit against the city, two police unions and several officers.

Gilliam was taken into custody last June and questioned for hours. The police and detectives unions claimed on social media the cops were given milkshakes with bleach.
