This in from the Westchester County Police:

Westchester County Police have arrested a White Plains man and charged him with assaulting a woman during a dispute last month on the bike path in Eastchester.

The man was charged with Assault 3rd Degree, a misdemeanor. He was arraigned in Eastchester Town Court and released on his own recognizance.

On July 26, he was riding his bicycle on the Bronx River Pathway south of Harney Road when the handlebars of his bicycle made contact with a female jogger running in the opposite direction. The two argued and then separated. He is accused of riding back to where the woman was standing and punching her in the face.

Detectives from the General Investigations Unit obtained video of a possible suspect and posted flyers about the incident along the bike path. Following additional investigation, he was arrested on Aug. 7.
