In yet another shocking incident of unprovoked violence in New York City, a 30-year-old man, Jean Carlos Zarzuela, is facing assault charges after allegedly punching a 9-year-old girl at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal on Saturday. This disturbing assault comes just weeks after Zarzuela was arrested for assaulting an elderly woman. Despite facing charges for the earlier attack, he had been released without bail but was taken into custody again following the assault on the young girl.

According to MTA police, Zarzuela approached the girl, who hails from the Bronx, around 11:50 a.m. inside the historic terminal and punched her without any warning. The girl was left disoriented and in pain, necessitating her immediate transfer to NYU Langone-Tisch Hospital for medical attention.

Authorities revealed that Zarzuela had initially fled the scene but was later apprehended. Court records indicate that he was already facing charges for assaulting an elderly woman on April 4. Despite the seriousness of the prior incident, Manhattan Judge Laurie Peterson had released him without bail, a decision that has drawn criticism.

Zarzuela’s arrest on Sunday led to his arraignment on charges of assault, reckless endangerment, and harassment. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office confirmed that Zarzuela is currently awaiting further legal proceedings.

It is worth highlighting that this is not the first time Judge Peterson’s decisions have raised concerns. In 2020, she released a suspected looter who had assaulted an NYPD officer with a glass bong, bypassing the requested bail amount. Additionally, in a separate incident in 2016, Peterson had also released a suspect involved in a random attack on a woman in Greenwich Village, only for the individual to be arrested later for slashing two other women.
