A shocking video has been making rounds on social media, showing a man aggressively punching someone on the streets of Brooklyn, New York. The person responsible for this violent act has been identified as Jonathan Kaye, a 52-year-old managing director of a global investment banking firm.
The video, which was posted on Twitter on June 9, quickly went viral, leaving many people in shock. In the footage, Kaye, who works for Moelis & Co., can be seen throwing a punch at an unidentified person before walking away as bystanders call him out. Some onlookers can be heard saying, "She f— threw shit all over me," as liquid is seen splashed on the back of Kaye's jacket.
The exact location of the incident is still unknown, but sources say it took place in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, just hours after the annual LGBTQ+ pride parade. The investment firm has since released a statement, confirming Kaye's employment and condemning his behavior. "We have become aware that one of our employees was involved in a serious incident in Brooklyn on June 8," the statement reads. "We take this matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation."
According to reports, the assault allegedly started after Kaye told a group holding a Palestinian flag, "You guys are on the wrong side." While some social media users believe that the reason for the altercation is irrelevant, others are calling for Kaye to face consequences for his actions. "A coward! I hope they take him for every penny," wrote one user, while another said, "He definitely needs to go to jail, but before that, he needs his ass kicked!!"
The incident has caused uproar in Kaye's neighborhood, with flyers being posted near his brownstone apartment where he lives with his wife and three children. Neighbors are outraged and one unidentified man was seen leaving Kaye's house, yelling, "You can't hide."
The New York City Police Department has been made aware of the viral video, but no police report has been submitted yet. The Brooklyn Pride Board, responsible for organizing the borough's pride celebration, has also released a statement, expressing their concern. "Brooklyn Pride has reviewed the video link, and while it appears to have occurred way after the parade had ended, we have forwarded the video to the local precinct," the statement reads. "Brooklyn Pride condemns violence of any kind, and we will continue to monitor what we believe was an abhorrent incident."
Although the incident occurred following Pride activities, it has not been confirmed if the victim is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. The victim's identity and whereabouts are still unknown, but Brooklyn Pride has stated that they do not condone violence towards anyone. This disturbing incident serves as a reminder that violence has no place in our society and should be condemned in all forms.
