There's two sides to every story.
Indeed. ALL the stories of that assault occurred in the news at one time. There has been zero news on that ever since. The story just went a way. Sometimes you would find additional information on a subsequent court day, charges, sententencing etc. Nothing. News on that vanished.
Could be a number of things.
1) settlement out of court or for damages
2)Debrusk acquitted on lack of evidence
3) Charges dropped
4) Original claim may even be malicious.
Who knows. It is unfortunate that more of the news ever seen is of a charge, and less whatever happened to it. So that the way the press works charges are damaging whether or not anything actually occurred as described.
The one thing I will note is that the original story varied pretty wildly on what took place. Several different reports have differing information and the police report alleges the cabbie had minor injury.
