A man arrested in connection with a brutal daytime attack of a 12-year-old Asian boy in Brooklyn earlier this month has been arrested nearly two dozen times in the past, according to reports.
Police said Jamal McIlwain, 28, assaulted the victim with a crutch at the intersection of St. Paul’s Court and St. Paul’s Place at around 7:40 a.m. on Nov. 17. He was arrested on Wednesday after someone reported seeing him acting suspiciously outside an unidentified high school.
Surveillance footage of the attack shows a man in dark clothes running toward the boy and striking him twice with a single crutch. After failing to strike a third time, he "calmly" walks away, leaves the crutch on the sidewalk and heads north on St. Paul’s Place, as per the New York Post.
The young victim, who suffered minor head injuries, was reportedly on his way to school before he was attacked.
“It’s weird how he ran across the street just to hit me,” the boy told PIX 11. “When he hit me, it took me a few seconds to process what was going on. I tried to block it with this arm and ran.”
McIlwain allegedly spat on a police officer while being arrested last week. He has since been charged with assault and menacing, as well as acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17.
Sources say McIlwain has 23 prior arrests, according to the New York Daily News. Among them was an attempted murder case in which he allegedly opened fire at someone.

and yet, if he had been at jan 6th... he would still be in jail
2 tier system of justice
With 23 priors I would guess when he goes to court he won’t have a leg to stand on.
The usual suspect.
Yahoo News comments give me hope.
The victim is Asian. Is this a hate crime?
Coming soon to Illinois January 1st!
Have the charges already been reduced and the perp released with no bail?
I can’t figure out who had the crutch.
Soros, his DAs, and all the Democrat and RINO politicians that support this should be imprisoned and made to share a cell with one of these folks.
