A new video appeared showing the woman who falsely accused Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her iPhone, attacking the teenager and knocking him to the floor.
The video appears to be from the surveillance of the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, where the disturbing encounter took place the day after Christmas.
The woman can be seen wearing a white hat chasing 14-year-old Keyon Jr. in the hotel lobby and then grabbing him around the waist and pulling him down while she, too, falls to the floor.
Two unidentified men are also in the video, including one who appears to be pushing the boy down.
The woman had just accused Keyon Jr. of stealing her iPhone – which was later returned to her by an Uber driver.
The footage was tweeted by New York Police Chief Detective Rodney Harrison on Wednesday night as the police continue to hunt down the woman. She faces possible charges, including assault, theft or attempted theft, the NYPD said.
“On Saturday, December 26, the woman in this video falsely accused an innocent 14-year-old teenager of stealing her cell phone,” Harrison tweeted. “She then physically attacked him and fled the scene before the police arrived at the scene.”
The video also included a screenshot of the woman’s face above the words “LOOKING FOR”.
Part of the confrontation was also captured in a cell phone video made by Keyon Jr.’s father, a Grammy-winning trumpeter, and posted on Instagram.
The 22-year-old accuser, who was not publicly identified, broke the silence with CNN on Tuesday, claiming, without evidence, that she was beaten during the incident.
“Of course I do,” she said of possible criminal charges. “This is not who I am.”
