A millionaire investment banker allegedly slugged a woman in the face, sending her crashing down onto a Brooklyn street Saturday night.
Disturbing video shows the man violently delivering an overhand right punch to the woman’s face in front of a crowd of partygoers enjoying Brooklyn Pride in Park Slope.
The woman covered her injured face and crumpled to the ground, just feet away from a second presumably injured person lying on the pavement.
Social media users identified the assailant in the video, which has racked up nearly 5 million views, as Jonathan Kaye, a managing director who leads the business services franchise Moelis & Co.
Did she actually throw shit on him?
If she did, a punch seems like a not unreasonable reaction to me.
If we’re going to armchair this;
A much more reasonable response would be to apologize for whatever stupid, insulting, insensitive thing he said to cause her to throw something at him, if in fact she did so, rather than escalate violence.
Another response might be to walk away and use some of your investment money to buy a new jacket.
Or, if you wanna get all Biblical, eye for an eye, he could have thrown a drink right back. That seems reasonable to me.
But yeah, no, broken nose. Fair enough.
