Washington: An American police officer, who brutally assaulted an Indian grandfather that left him paralysed, will now face a fresh trial for misdemeanour assault next month.

Eric Parker will stand trial on June 8 and June 9 for misdemeanour assault against Sureshbhai Patel, the Indian grandfather who was taking a stroll around his son's neighbourhood in Alabama when he was brutally assaulted by the police officer in February last year.
