Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) announced this evening that an important arrest has been made in conjunction with at least three of the Knockout attacks that occurred in Brooklyn over the past weeks. A male was taken into custody and identified by three separate women who said he had attacked them.
I am eager to share this news with our community because everyone will sleep a little easier, said Assemblyman Hikind. As shocking and frightening as these attacks have proven to not only the victims but all of us, everywhere, we are also equally grateful to our excellent police officers who have addressed these crimes quickly and seriously. I have only the highest praise for the NY City Police Department, the Hate Crimes Unit, the 66th and 70th precincts, and the other units involved in this case.
The man who was arrested is believed to be the attacker of a 20-year-old young woman on McDonald Ave., in Midwood (who was hit in the head on the Sabbath and knocked to the ground), of a woman who was attacked on Elm Ave. while she was out with her young daughter (also on the Sabbath), and of an elderly Russian woman.
Following the arrest, the three women identified their attacker out of a line-up on Sunday. Today, the victims testified in front of a Grand Jury.
I will be watching this case closely, said Hikind, who has remained in touch with several of the victims families. This arrest is welcome news to all of us, but I continue to urge caution. No one in our community should live in fear, but prudence is always advisable.

THAT'll get a guy arrested...
What I mean is ... they've charged a white guy in Texas with a hate crime for performing a 'knockout' ... Can/Does that translate into something useable in another state?
Notice that we have a general description of each of the victims, but no useful information about the person detained? I mean as long as we’re excising all the actual News from our reporting, why leave any other facts in?
So did my husband, lol.
I take it that the victims aren't Amish.
Eric Holder was proud as punch to arrest and charge a white knockout perp. Holder intends to put a white face on the Knockout Game hate crime.
If NYC wants to stop this racism where all the victim were of a different race and most a different religion, I suggest they televise this trial just like they did to George Zimmerman.
Let all those hoodie thugs out there see on TV its not a GAME, its assault and a crime, and since its vs. consistently white and Jews, its a profiling hate crime.
If the politicians won’t do this vote them out of office and get politicians who will.
He wasn’t a “Knockout game” perp — he was a lone attacker who was bipolar. He was a nutcase that acted alone, which isn’t part of the m.o. for the Knockout Game.
But you’re right, Holder was trying to frame him as a Knockout game participant, to falsely suggest that it’s a crime committed by whites just as often as by black thugs.
