A new video has appeared showing the woman who falsely accused Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her iPhone by attacking the teen and attacking him to the ground.
The video appears to come from surveillance of the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, where the disturbing encounter took place the day after Christmas.
The woman in a white hat can be seen chasing 14-year-old Keyon Jr. into the hotel lobby and then grabbing him by the waist and pulling him down as he also falls to the ground.
There are also two unidentified men in the video, including one who seems to be pushing the boy.
The woman had just charged Keyon Jr. of sliding his iPhone, which was later returned to him by an Uber driver.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison released the images Wednesday night as police continue to search for the woman. He faces possible charges such as assaults, grand robberies or attempted robberies, the NYPD has reported.
“On Saturday, Dec. 26, the woman in this video falsely accused a 14-year-old innocent teenager of stealing her cell phone,” Harrison tweeted. “He then physically attacked him and fled the scene before police officers arrived at the scene.”
The video also included a cutout of the woman’s face above the words “WANT”.
Some of the clashes were also captured in a cell phone video taken by the father of Keyon Jr., a Grammy-winning trumpeter, and posted on Instagram.
The 22-year-old accuser, who has not been publicly identified, broke her silence on CNN on Tuesday, claiming, without evidence, that she was assaulted during the incident.
“Of course, I worry,” he said of possible criminal charges. “That’s not who I am.”
