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.

I thought for a hockey fan, it was hilarious, and overall, painted an accurate picture of minor league hockey in the mid-Fifties to the mid-Sixties!
23 yo? I would have been looking for a senile senior citizen.
Don Cherry is great, I’ll have to check that out.
The NY Republicans care more about removing George Santos than the Democrats who enact these policies.
^^^^^^^
This. They have their “principles” don’cha know.
I guess dressing up as a Hasidic Jew and making a pilgrimage to Mecca wasn’t “living dangerously” enough for this guy.
Wait until the 9 million and growing newcomers get settled..
I am watching the other episode(s) tomorrow night!
Heh, there were three things that specifically stood out (all true stories):
(As a former goalie, this one made me LOL) He had a goalie that kept going down anytime someone took a shot on him, so he made a hangman’s noose, put it around the goalie’s neck, and tied the other end to the crossbar, leaving about a foot of play! He then dumped a bucket of pucks on the ice and began to shoot them at the goalie who kept nearly strangling himself because he couldn’t stay on his feet. Don Cherry was on a different team at that time, and had not yet played under Shore, but he and his teammates arrived for a game, and on their way to the locker room, watched in open-mouthed amazement as Shore fired pucks at his slowly strangling goalie! They had all heard what a whack-job Shore was, but for many, it was the first time they had seen him in person doing these things!
In another scene, Don Cherry is lying on a trainer’s table after a game getting his face stitched up, and every one of his teammates who passed by, without fail, hit him in the nuts with a towel or some piece of hockey gear as the stitches are going in!
Late in his playing career, he ends up playing for Shore again, who calls all the players (and their wives) and invites them, husband and wife, to meet him at the rink, and they all get dressed up thinking it might be some kind of night out, and Shore berates them for having too much sex during the season causing them to play poorly!
I have not enjoyed a movie this much in a while...:)
Well, there ya go. Take it as a hint.
unexpectedly.....
So she sees a bottle on the ground near a cellist and her instinct is to use it as a weapon. Perhaps she has an impulse control problem.
She’s had 7 prior arrests, according to cops. Four of the arrests involve domestic violence,.. two are for petty larceny... and the most recent one, last October, is for grand larceny and involves shoplifting....
So she’s a career criminal .
True. The sad part is that most young orchestral musicians are performing in such places as a live "audition", showing what they know, hoping one of the many passing musicians or orchestra directors will drop their business card in their case and later reach out to them about gigs.
Depending on their instrument, they're also kind of forced to perform in the subway. Commuters will tolerate hearing it while walking past or waiting a few minutes for a train but roommates and neighbors in the surrounding apartments wouldn't tolerate it more than 10 minutes.

Crime Stoppers is racist.
There may have been some good reason for the attacker to beat the cellist. /S
Ha. Great example.
Justifiable physical music criticism is usually upheld by courts.
In that scene the woman behind the guitarist is John Belushi’s real life wife.
She is also dancing with John at the toga party.
