NEW YORK - Police have arrested a man they say randomly punched a woman in the face in Chelsea. Halley Kate's video about the attack went viral on TikTok, garnering tens of millions of views. Skiboky Stora, 40, was arrested Wednesday. Police say Stora randomly attacked Kate while she was walking on Seventh Avenue near 17th Street Monday. Stora has a history of similar assaults, police said. He had been arrested in December following two other alleged assaults.
'I was looking down, and I was looking at my phone, and, like, texting, and then out of nowhere this man just came up and hit me in the face,' she said in a video posted to TikTok. The NYPD told CBS New York they had no record of the additional assault claims, although they are looking into whether Stora may have been involved. The NYPD released a statement on X Wednesday night about Kate's attack.
