One Of New York City's Degenerates Sucker-Punched A 9-Year-Old For The Hell Of It

A random attack at one of Manhattan's largest transit hubs led to the arrest of a man allegedly behind not one, but two assaults just days apart. It was just before noon on Saturday when police say a 9-year-old girl and her mom were in the dining concourse at Grand Central when the man seemingly came out of nowhere to punch the girl in the face. MTA police identified the man as 30-year-old Jean Carlos Zarzuela. He got away before the girl from the Bronx was taken to the hospital. Brooke Gebo walked into work at a coffee shop in the concourse only a few minutes after the startling assault. "My coworkers were like 'oh my god like a child got punched today in front of Tartinery,' and I was like 'wow that's terrible, who was it?' and it's this guy who has given us problems before," Gebo said. Court records show Zarzuela was arrested by police on April 4 and charged with assault. A law enforcement source told News 4 that he randomly punched a 54-year-old woman inside Grand Central. The assault broke the woman's nose.
