New video has emerged showing how the woman Keyon Harrold Jr. falsely accused her of stealing her iPhone which attacked the teenager and tackled him to the ground.
The video appears to be from the surveillance of the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, where the disturbing encounter took place the day after Christmas.
The woman can be seen wearing a white hat worn by 14-year-old Keyon Jr. chased in the lobby of the hotel and then grabbed him by the waist and pulled him down while she also fell to the ground.
Two unidentified men are also in the video, including one who apparently repels the boy.
The woman told Keyon Jr. just accused of wiping her iPhone – which was later returned to her by an Uber driver.
The footage was tweeted Wednesday night by NYPD chief of detectives Rodney Harrison while police were still hunting for the woman. The NYPD has said it faces potential charges, including assault, large larch or attempted robbery.
“On Saturday, December 26, the woman in this video falsely accused an innocent 14-year-old teenager of stealing her cell phone,” Harrison tweeted. “She then physically attacked him and fled the scene before police officers arrived on the scene.”
The video also contains a sliver of the woman’s face above the words ‘WANTED’.
Some of the confrontation was also captured on a cell phone video posted by Keyon Jr. ‘s father, a Grammy trumpeter, was taken and posted on Instagram.
The 22-year-old accused, who has not yet been publicly identified, broke her silence to CNN on Tuesday, claiming she was assaulted during the incident without proof.
“Of course I’m worried,” she said of possible criminal charges. “That’s not who I am.”
