A man caught on video attacking a 78-year-old woman on a New York subway has been apprehended thanks to the help of social media detectives.
WXYZ reports that seen on camera kicking a 78-year-old woman on a Bronx subway train was caught thanks to a person videotaping the attack getting a clear view of the man’s face. After the video went viral, police were able to identify the suspect.
The man’s name has not been released.
Kudos to social media for making the video go viral but there the question remains, why did so many people stand by and allow and elderly woman be attacked.
