"Man Charged With Breaking Window Repeatedly at Manhattan Gay Bar"
From The New York Times:
Sean Kuilan, 34, of Hell’s Kitchen, the Manhattan neighborhood where the attacks occurred, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment, according to the Police Department.
Keechant Sewell, the police commissioner, reiterated the charges in a statement on Twitter, but did not say if Mr. Kuilan would be charged with a hate crime. Still, in an appeal to the public before his arrest, the police described the string of attacks as a “hate crime pattern” and the department email identifying the arrested man had “hate crime” in its subject line.
. . .
Mr. Bottcher posted footage from the bar’s security camera on Twitter that showed the attacker’s face, and on Monday the police posted footage from the security camera of a nearby bodega that showed the man walking through its aisles. The man wore a dark jacket, jeans and glasses and he purchased a drink before leaving, the video shows.
