Police say a man caught on surveillance video randomly attacking a teenage girl in Flatlands has been arrested.<\/p>\n
According to police, the suspect is 35-year-old Chaddane Knox, of Bergen Beach. Investigators say the incident happened last Wednesday on Glenwood Road, across the street from the girl\u2019s school.<\/p>\n
The 16-year-old\u2019s mother, Toshane Thompson, says her daughter was grabbing a slice of pizza after track practice when the man kicked her without warning, knocking her to the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never really expect something like this to happen, especially if you see somebody and they\u2019re in their school uniform,\u201d said Thompson. \u201cThey\u2019re not adults, you know, they\u2019re kids. So why would you even think about trying to assault a kid just like that for no reason?\u201d<\/p>\n
The teen\u2019s mother told News 12 her daughter suffered minor injuries but was left shaken by the incident.<\/p>\n
Knox is charged with menacing, assault and harassment, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police say a man caught on surveillance video randomly attacking a teenage girl in Flatlands has been arrested.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[211,357,98,100,99,28205,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-176586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-assault","tag-assaults","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-flatlands","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
