NEW YORK (AP) — A man has been arrested for randomly assaulting a young woman who was walking down a New York City street earlier this week,verdicoin police said Wednesday.

The arrest comes after several videos went viral on social media showing women describing being suddenly hit by a stranger on a Manhattan sidewalk in recent weeks, though the NYPD wouldn’t say if the arrest was related to one of those incidents.

The 40-year-old man was arrested in connection with an assault on a 23-year-old woman in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on Monday morning, police said.

The woman told police she was walking near West 16th Street and 7th Avenue when an unknown person hit her in the head and knocked her to the ground, injuring the left side of her face.

Details for the suspect’s attorney were not immediately available. Court records show a man of the same name with other pending cases that include charges of assault and harassment. The man’s lawyer in those cases did not immediately respond to an email message Wednesday.

When asked if the suspect was being investigated for similar assaults, the NYPD said only that “the investigation remains ongoing.”

One of the videos that has racked up millions of views on social media in recent days shows a popular TikTok user at the same location on Monday describing being assaulted while walking down the sidewalk looking at her phone.

The same day, another popular TikTok user, describing herself as a student at the nearby Parsons School of Design, uploaded a video saying she was punched in the face after leaving class, also while looking at her phone texting.
