Prosecutors have charged a 34-year-old man arrested Friday with first-degree assault on a police officer.

Charles K. Handley III, no permanent local address, allegedly attacked the officer while being escorted to the emergency room of The Queen's Medical Center at about 6 p.m.

Bail of the assault charge is $20,000. Handley has a scheduled initial appearance tomorrow at District Court.

Handley was arrested at 5:10 p.m. on Koa Avenue in Waikiki for fourth-degree criminal property damage and a $250 warrant.
