After several women reported being randomly punched while walking the streets of New York, authorities finally arrested the man behind a series of unprovoked attacks, USA Today reported.
Skiboky Stora, a 40-year-old Brooklyn resident, was arrested Wednesday on a charge of assault following a recent attack on at least one woman this week in Manhattan, a New York Police Department spokesman told USA Today.
Police revealed that 23-year-old TikTok star Halley Kate told them she was walking in the vicinity of West 16th Street and 7th Avenue around 10:20am earlier this week, when an unknown person hit her in the head.
“The victim fell to the ground and suffered injuries to the left side of her face,” police said USA today, adding that she was later treated at a local medical facility.
Recently, women across New York City have reported assaults where a stranger approached them and punched them in the head or face.
Many victims warned other women by spreading the message through TikTok.
Police launched an investigation that led detectives to arrest Skora but did not elaborate on what led them to the suspect.
The investigation continues while it is not known if Skora had hired an attorney.
