A new video has appeared showing the woman who falsely accused Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her iPhone by attacking the teenager and attacking him on the ground.
The video appears to be from the surveillance of the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, where the disturbing meeting took place the day after Christmas.
The woman can be seen wearing a white hat following 14-year-old Keyon Jr. in the hotel lobby, then grabbing him by the waist and pulling him down as she 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 accused Keyon Jr. of slipping her iPhone – which was later returned to her by an Uber driver.
The images were posted on Twitter by the head of NYPD detectives, Rodney Harrison, on Wednesday night, while the police continue to hunt the woman. She faces potential charges, including assault, theft or attempted robbery, the NYPD said.
“On Saturday, December 26, the woman in this video falsely accused an 14-year-old innocent teenager of stealing her cell phone,” Harrison wrote on Twitter. “He then continued to physically attack him and fled the scene before police arrived on the scene.”
The video also included a screen shot of the woman’s face above the words “WANTED”.
Part of the confrontation was also captured on the video filmed by the mobile phone, made by the father of Keyon Jr., a Grammy-winning trumpeter, and posted on Instagram.
The 22-year-old accuser, who was not publicly identified, broke her silence against CNN on Tuesday, claiming, without evidence, that she was assaulted during the incident.
“Of course I’m worried,” she said of possible criminal charges. “That’s not me.”
