According to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, White allegedly confronted a 77-year-old woman as she approached a nearby urgent care center and struck her without provocation across the face with a plate.
Despite suffering cuts and bleeding, prosecutors reported, Rivera was able to help Corbisiero wrestle White to the ground in making the arrest.
The suspect allegedly turned around and shattered the plate against Rivera's face, causing several deep lacerations that required up to 100 stitches to close.
White was indicted on Oct. 15 on two counts of first-degree assault, as well as five counts of second-degree assault, and one count each of aggravated assault on a police officer.
