Shocking video allegedly shows a perpetrator ripping a woman to the ground by her hair in New York City amid a surge in alleged ‘felonious assaults’ throughout the city.
The alleged crime occurred in the Noho area of Manhattan on East 1st Street, though when the alleged attack took place is unclear, according to the Daily Mail.
In a surveillance video obtained by Daily Mail, the woman was casually walking down the street when a man ran up from behind her and yanked her to the ground by her hair. In another video of the incident obtained by the outlet, which appears to be recorded by a witness, the man allegedly came running from the street onto the sidewalk and grabbed the woman’s hair with his right hand. The victim let out a ghastly scream as she slammed to the ground. The man allegedly continued to run and fled the scene in the footage.
