The officer was uninjured as a result of the assault, which police allege happened Friday evening.
Police say the suspect had another man’s i-d, and gave officers the name that was on the document.
But they say they were able to determine the 35-year-old’s real identity through his fingerprints, and they say he remains in custody and faces numerous charges.
