Following a viral video that captures an attack against a Muslim woman
on a New York City subway earlier this month, a 33-year-old man has
been arrested and charged with several hate crimes.
Days after the clip made the rounds, showing a man who appears to
strike a young woman and destroy her Palestinian flag, police arrested
Greg Kutzin, a Manhattan-based finance director, on Nov. 20. The woman
told NBC News that police in the subway station initially dismissed
her claims and that it took the video going viral for an arrest to be
made.
The 23-year-old, who is Yemeni American and Muslim, said she was on
her way to a pro-Palestinian rally in Bryant Park on Nov. 17 when the
man began to glare at her. He called her a “terrorist,” snatched and
broke the flag she was carrying, and hit her in the chest, according
to both her interview and a police statement. She said this led her to
take out her phone and start recording.
In the video, the man can be seen holding her flag and swiping at her
as she yelled back and cried out for help. Fellow passengers can be
heard gasping as he appears to lunge forward and she stumbles for a
moment.
She continued to record as the two deboarded at Times Square-42nd
Street, and she filmed him throwing her broken flag to the ground. In
the police report, she alleged he threw it onto the subway tracks.
The young woman, who said she moved to the U.S. from Yemen when she
was 15, asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
“I always felt safe, especially in New York City,” she said. “I was
always aware of crazy people, but not that people were going to target
me because of my beliefs.”
Kutzin has been charged with six hate crimes including assault,
robbery, grand larceny, petit larceny, criminal mischief and
harassment, police said. He pleaded not guilty to all counts and was
released on his own recognizance.
His lawyer did not return a call from NBC News.
