Video After The Jump
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK: Police have finally arrested the man who was caught on camera kicking a woman down a New York subway escalator. The suspect was seen in footage of the incident drop-kicking a woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, in the chest after walking past her on the escalator. The victim was seen tumbling down the escalator & the man who attacked her walks away from the scene.
Bradley K Hill, 32, was arrested on Friday, September 17, & charged with assault. He was filmed doing his perp walk while wearing a dark suit, an open-necked shirt, and a Nike face mask. MEAWW previously reported how the suspect was caught on camera on September 9 kicking a woman down the escalator of the Atlantic Avenue Barclays Center station in Brooklyn, New York.
Speaking to ABC 7 News earlier this week, the victim said the incident unfolded after she asked Hill to say "excuse me" after he pushed his way past her on the ride up the escalator. Hill reportedly responded by saying "I did" before kicking her in the chest. "He just kicked me out of nowhere," the victim said. "And I just came tumbling down the escalator, past everyone, all the way to the bottom floor."
Police noted that the victim sustained cuts & bruises to her back, arms & legs, but refused medical attention at the scene. She told ABC 7 that the shocking encounter had left her traumatized. '"Say excuse me, that's the New York way,' & that was it," she said. "And then out of nowhere, he felt the need to have to kick me down the stairs. You know, as if I had the audacity to address him & tell him and say, 'Excuse me,' at that moment. He felt like he just had to kick me down."
Hill was subsequently charged with assault & attempted assault, but it's unclear if he's being held in jail or has been granted bail & released from custody.
