Full Footage Released of NYC Banker Incident Following Pride Event Assault
New York, NY — Jonathan Kaye, a banker from New York City who gained notoriety last month for a viral incident, has surrendered to authorities on charges of second and third degree assault.
The incident, which initially circulated as a short clip showing Kaye knocking out an individual in Brooklyn, did not reveal the full context. New footage released shows that prior to the altercation, a group of pro-Palestine LGBTQ individuals taunted Kaye and threw liquid at him.
Subsequently, Kaye was struck in the face with a bottle, which led him to charge at the individual and knock them to the ground.
Following the incident, Kaye resigned from his position at Moelis & Co. investment bank.
