The Rochester man whose mistaken identity arrest made headlines two years ago has been arrested for an assault.
Christopher Pate was arrested Friday for the attack October 3rd on a 57-year-old man in Charlotte.
The man was hit with a hammer and cut with a razor. Another suspect, 43-year-old Jennifer Shea, of Rochester, was arrested the day after the attack.
Pate is suing the city over his arrest in 2018. He suffered a broken bone in his face after he was struck by Officer Michael Sippel, who was fired and convicted of assault.
