Hi, thank you so much for having us.

Yeah, as you said, it was Monday morning, about 9.20 a.m.

I was crossing the street, walking up south of Broadway, right by Waverly Place.

And in broad daylight, I felt an extremely painful and hard whack to my butt.

And then I turned around and was shocked to see a middle-aged man.

And he proceeded to grab my hair and violently and forcefully throw me to the ground.

I had no idea.

As you can see in the clip that you're going to show, he targets me and follows me from behind.

So there was no way I could have seen it.

So he initially first hit me on the left side of my butt extremely hard.

And then after that, it's when he pulled my hair to the ground.

I only got a look at him for like a quick second.

I only could see that he had a beard and long hair and I could tell that he was a white older male.

And but after that, he threw me to the ground and in shock, I just kind of laid there for a bit.

So I could tell that they were also in shock.

They kind of stood there and stared at me for a second.

But after a bit, they came and lifted me off the ground and kept asking like, are you okay?

Are you okay?

They asked if I knew this man, which I said, I do not.

And then later on, a man helped me call 911.
