In a dramatic turn of events, millionaire investment banker Jonathan Kaye, 52, turned himself in to the police on Monday in connection with an assault that occurred at a Brooklyn Pride event last month. Kaye, who resides with his family in a lavish $4 million townhouse in the ritzy Park Slope neighborhood, has been charged with two counts of assault and menacing in the third degree, as well as one count of second-degree harassment.

The incident, which was captured on camera and quickly spread online, took place on June 8 near the corner of Fifth Avenue and Third Street. According to the NYPD, Kaye and members of an anti-Israel LGBTQ group got into a clash outside a café following the Pride event. Sources close to Kaye maintain that he acted in self-defense, stating that the group had surrounded him and thrown liquid on him.

Following the emergence of the footage and the distribution of leaflets with photos of Kaye throughout Park Slope, the investment banker resigned from his position at the Manhattan-based Moelis & Co. investment bank last week. He had initially been placed on leave as public outrage grew.

Accompanied by his attorney, Kaye emerged from Brooklyn Criminal Court after his arraignment, only to be confronted by four protesters who heckled and followed him in the street. One of the protesters attempted to shove Kaye from behind but ended up shoving his lawyer instead. The assailants quickly fled the scene in a black van.

Danya Perry, Kaye's attorney, declared that her client is "a law-abiding man is a middle-aged guy with zero history of violence." She asserted that Kaye had been "terrorized, assaulted, and surrounded by a group of unruly antisemitic protesters." Perry also claimed there is additional evidence that supports the argument that Kaye acted in self-defense.

However, the alleged victim, identified only as Micah P, reiterated her claim that Kaye had initiated the attack. She denied the allegations of hurling antisemitic slurs and described Kaye as a "tornado of violence." Micah admitted to throwing water on the banker but stated that it was in response to him rushing towards them.

New video footage of the incident, captured from a different perspective, was also revealed on Monday. It showed the moments leading up to the alleged assault, where Kaye appeared to be provoked and accosted by the group, leading to physical confrontation.

Kaye was released without bail after his arraignment, with his next court date scheduled for August 23. Perry expressed hope that the District Attorney would thoroughly consider the facts of the case, along with the surge of antisemitic acts and attacks happening in the city. She emphasized their intention to aggressively fight for Kaye's vindication.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the case involving Jonathan Kaye will undoubtedly attract significant attention due to the serious allegations and conflicting accounts of the incident.
