Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … NYPD officers arrested 35-year-old Marquis Ventura this weekend in connection to the attack that left Moranis knocked on his ass in Manhattan while walking through some scaffolding in the Upper West Side last month.
We’re told Ventura was booked on a felony assault charge — which applies since Rick is technically a senior citizen … basically, if you attack someone who’s 65 years old or above, any assault charge that would follow is upgraded. Believe it or not, Rick’s sitting pretty at a ripe 67.
The NYPD confirmed the arrest on social media.
