Tennis star slams NYPD’s handling of officer who tackled him

NEW YORK — Retired tennis player James Blake is slamming New York City for its treatment of a police officer who tackled him in a case of mistaken identity.

Police officer James Frascatore was docked five days of vacation time for smashing Blake to the ground outside a hotel in 2015 when he mistook him for a suspect.

The officer had another department disciplinary trial this week over allegations that he meddled in the investigation of the incident.

In a statement Wednesday, Blake said he is furious that Frascatore wasn’t fired.
