Woman, 23, arrested for attacking NYC cello player in subway station after weeks on the lam

A 23-year-old woman has been arrested for last week’s a brutal, caught-on-video bottle attack on a New York City subway performer — who said Thursday that he is once again ready to play his cello.

Amira Hunter, of Brooklyn, was captured by the NYPD Wednesday evening — 15 days after she allegedly battered Iain S. Forrest, 29, as he performed “Titanium” by Sia in the Herald Square station.

Hunter is well-known to police, with eight prior arrests. She was last taken into custody in October after stealing $2,050 worth of bathing suits from New York’s famous Bergdorf Goodman.

Hunter, who violently whacked Forrest in the head with his own metal water bottle, had been arrested for assault twice in 2019, after her mother called police. She also has priors for larcenies and criminal contempt.

On Wednesday, the young Brooklynite was charged with assault and is currently at Central Booking pending arraignment.

“She was last taken into custody in October after stealing $2,050 worth of bathing suits”

This is why math is so important.

“the young Brooklynite”

So that’s what they’re calling ‘em now?

Should we also move on from “amish”?

Her husband is going to be so embarrassed when he learns about this.

That will be a VERY awkward discussion around the dinner table that night.

The NY Republicans care more about removing George Santos than the Democrats who enact these policies.

Reminds me of an old Playboy cartoon from around 1969.

Two cops beating up a man with a violin.

A couple walks by and the man says...”How else can we stop violins in the streets!”

Does the article explain why the cello player was on the lam?

Bingo. And your comment applies to other things as well. Biden is flooding the country with illegals, many of whom are stone-cold criminals.

The GOP House controls the purse strings. They do nothing. The GOP senators are in the minority, but they have the filibuster. They also do nothing.
