Lesson: Dont 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. Thats 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, were just happy to learn that the police have someone in custody.
It makes me feel a bit like its 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, its something bigger and arresting this one person isnt going to solve the problem.

I know nothing. I saw nothing.
“When is the Manchurian President going to speak to this ISSUE!?”
Didn’t I hear him say something about how important “high-quality great value” health insurance is since one never knows when sudden health issues might arise?
Look at the sharper clearer image then use your hand or a piece of paper to hide his right side. Now look at his left side and you see pure evil especially in his eye.

Cameras are wonderful things; guns are better.
he shouldn’t be a Colt....
Agreed. He’s definitely more of a Ruger.
Agree.
I better run out and buy some Lotto tickets, as soon as I saw the headline my guessing was dead on that this guy was a feral holderite.
Maybe he is channeling Isadora Duncan.
His eyes look like those of dear leader.
“diminished capacity”
The police are pleading a legal defense for defendants now?
I still haven’t gotten used to the phrase ‘person of interest’.
