City police Const. Steven Oster has been committed to trial for assault following a recent preliminary hearing.
The charge came following an alleged altercation with a 12-year-old boy in January 2013 at a local youth hockey tournament at Neebing Arena.
In February 2013, the Greater Sudbury Police Service were called in to conduct an independent review of the complaint against the Thunder Bay Police Service officer.
The trial will be held on May 5.
Oster remains on administrative duty until the case is resolved.
None of the accusations against the accused have been tested or proven in court
