The man believed to be responsible for brutally attacking a woman at a Baillou Hill Road bus stop was arrested Thursday, bringing to an end the public search after the incident sparked outrage.
Police said they arrested a 41-year-old man, believed to be the unknown attacker of a woman heading to work.
The big story
The assault was videoed and circulated on social media. The woman suffered two broken legs, a broken nose, and severe facial injuries after being viciously punched and kicked.
It was reported that no one offered to assist the woman until a good Samaritan stepped in, hitting the attacker who then fled toward Wulff Road and Market Street.
Driving the news
Social media users shared images of the man, hoping that someone would recognize him for police arrest. Some recognized the man as a popular fixture at Potter’s Cay Dock and an occasional patron at the feeding center at Great Commission Ministry on Poinciana Boulevard.
