A man has been arrested in connection with one of the assaults described in a viral TikTok.
Warning: Discussion of violence.
Several videos have gone viral, including influencer Halley Kates from earlier this week.

Oh my god, it hurts so bad.
I cant even talk, I fell to the ground.
A video from Parsons Fashion Design student Mikayla Toninato quickly followed suit.

I just got punched in the face walking home, I was leaving class.
The victim fell to the ground and suffered injuries to the left side of her face.
The victim was treated at a local medical facility.

No injuries were reported as a result of this incident.
It is unclear if these incidents are connected at this time, the spokesperson concluded.
In the aftermath, Sarah has been struggling with panic attacks.

Or, Why didnt you use self-defense?
My parents literally run a martial studio, Iknowwomens self-defence.
But in this situation, I don’t know if this person has a weapon.

I was attacked from behind!
This person ran away, why would I escalate the situation?
Many times women died because they fought back.

Suppose unhoused people with mental illness are behind at least some of the attacks.
