Victim’s Photo Leads to Arrest in Broad Street Puncher Case
Philadelphia Magazine ^ | December 5, 2013 | Victor Fiorillo

Lesson: Don’t punch someone who is holding a camera.

In November, we told you about the woman who took a photo (left) of the man who allegedly punched her at Broad and Arch, a split second after he hit her in broad daylight. That same man was also accused of punching another woman within the same week at a SEPTA station at Broad and Erie. Now, police have a suspect in custody.

Colt Younger, 26, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of simple assault and one count each of recklessly endangering another person and harassment. That’s his mugshot on the right. His capture occurred in no small part because of the photo that the victim managed to capture. Younger, who resides in Germantown, is locked up in lieu of $25,000 bail.

SEPTA Police originally questioned Younger prior to Thanksgiving. At that time, SEPTA spokesperson Jerri Williams told me that Younger was operating “at a diminished capacity.”

There was a lot of debate over whether these incidents were examples of the so-called knockout game in Philadelphia. Knockout game or no knockout game, we’re just happy to learn that the police have someone in custody.

“It makes me feel a bit like it’s more of a single crazy person and not like North Philadelphia is just a difficult place to be,” says the woman who was attacked at Broad and Erie. “Though obviously if it really is the knockout game, it’s something bigger and arresting this one person isn’t going to solve the problem.”

Below, video of the Broad and Erie attack:

Colt Younger

Sounds like a something a redneck would name their child.

I sort of like the name but look in his eyes. Just pure evil.

Left unsaid — Did he punch a white woman? Purple? Asian? Black? I can make my own guesses.

When the zombie apocalypse hordes attack they will have the same vacant look as this idiot. Is he on drugs that in effect lobotomize you?

He really shouldn’t wear his scarf knotted like that; it would be virtually impossible to free himself if it got caught in a woodchipper or lathe.

Just sayin’...

“Simple assault?”

It’s about time every single knockout “game-player” be charged with attempted murder (which is what these attacks are) and their buddies videotaping on their smartphones be charged as accessories.

Only some dumb white chick could be that enormously ditzy. Just my opinion.

Riiiiight. He just figured out on his own it would be fun to go out and cold-cock people for the hell of it.

Have there been any whites caught doing this?

The disturbing part about that is that he doesn't look like a gang-banger or a street thug. He looks like a regular guy, and yet here he is, just getting his jollies putting the hurt to the crackers. The cracker women, to be specific - coward.

Really? Was Der (Debbie Wasserman) Mrs Schultz walking about down there? Then who held the camera and pressed the button for her?
