In a shocking turn of events, Jonathan Kaye, a millionaire investment banker, turned himself in to the police on Monday in relation to an alleged assault at a Brooklyn Pride event. Kaye, 52, has been charged with second and third degree assault following the incident that took place on June 8th, according to the NYPD.

The attack, which was captured on camera, showed Kaye allegedly slugging a woman in the face, causing her to fall to the ground in the Park Slope neighborhood. The incident gained widespread attention after the footage went viral on social media and leaflets with Kaye's photos were posted on utility poles throughout the area where he resides in a lavish $4 million, four-bedroom townhouse.

As public outrage grew, Kaye was initially placed on leave from his position as an investment banker at Moelis & Co., a Manhattan-based firm. However, he resigned from his job last week amidst mounting pressure.

According to the police, the altercation erupted when Kaye and members of an anti-Israel LGBTQ group clashed outside a café in Park Slope following the Pride event. Sources close to Kaye claimed that he acted in self-defense after being surrounded by the group and having liquid thrown at him.

Kaye's lawyer, Danya Perry, emphasized that the previously released video clip did not show the full context of the incident. Perry stated that Kaye was "terrorized, assaulted, and surrounded by a group of unruly anti-Semitic protesters." She further claimed that the agitators formed a ring around Kaye, doused him with liquids, shoved him to the ground, and hurled anti-Semitic slurs at him.

However, the alleged victim, identified as Micah P., disputed Kaye's claims, asserting that he had instigated the attack. Micah denied the allegations of anti-Semitic slurs and described Kaye as a "tornado of violence," stating that he approached them aggressively and began swinging without provocation. Micah admitted to tossing water at Kaye, but only after he allegedly rushed at them.

Video evidence of the incident, a 10-second clip, showed Kaye walking away with his jacket covered in liquid, but did not capture the events leading up to the assault.

Ron Kuby, an attorney representing the alleged victim, expressed relief at Kaye's arrest and stressed that no slurs were hurled during the altercation. He portrayed Kaye as a random antagonist and stated that the victim and her friends were unaware of his religious or ideological affiliations.

Kaye is expected to be arraigned later on Monday at the Brooklyn Criminal Court. His attorney, expressing hope for a fair consideration of the facts, highlighted the surge of anti-Semitic acts, protests, and attacks in the city. She affirmed their intent to fight against injustice and called for a full vindication of their client.

The case continues to garner attention as the legal proceedings unfold, with both sides presenting conflicting versions of events.
