NYC subway cellist attacker arrested again for allegedly stealing pricey baseball cap
NY Post
The 23-year-old woman busted last week in the caught-on-video bottle attack on a subway cellist was arrested again Tuesday after a judge released her despite pleas that she be held on bail.
Amira Hunter was busted for petit larceny at the Nordstrom in Midtown at 3:40 p.m. for supposedly stealing a $235 Moncler baseball hat, police said.
A witness called 911 to report the alleged theft, the authorities added.
The latest arrest comes less than one week after Hunter was nabbed for allegedly bashing cellist Iain S. Forrest in the head while he was performing in the Herald Square subway station on Feb. 13.
Judge Marva Brown cut Hunter loose at her arraignment the following day – despite the prosecutor pointing out that she had failed to appear to three of her five court days in other, unrelated criminal cases.
