As we reported, Grammy-winning Musician Keyon Harrold and his 14-year-old son were staying at the Arlo Hotel in SoHo when an unidentified white woman approached them about her phone and assumed they stole it. After she accused them of theft, Herrold pulled out his cellphone and recorded the encounter. She later told CNN that she was the one assaulted, however, the video proves otherwise.
“She scratched me; she Tackled and grabbed him. He is a child!!! Now watch it again. This lady is not even a guest at the hotel. She checked out of the hotel on the 23rd of December; today is the 26th,” said Harrold.
Ironically an Uber driver later returned the phone that she had left in the vehicle.
