He accused someone of assaulting him in a supermarket. He claimed that he was hit so hard that he almost fell to the ground and that his shoulder still hurt. I can't find the reference, but I believe he also claimed some sort of "shock wave' after the assault that other people nearby felt.

Then the video was released and it was just a guy patting him gently on the back while passing him by. Definitely not assault. Okay, technically any contact could be considered battery, but this wasn't the life threatening attack that Rudy made it out to be.

The guy was still arrested and tried for assault. He was acquitted and is now suing Rudy.
