A lenient California judge has allowed a man who pleaded no contest to groping a mother and then smashing her face with a rock to avoid jail time because of marijuana use and mental health issues at the time of the attack.
Trevor Lee Colombano, 38, faced up to nine years in state prison and an additional 18 months in county jail after he pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon, sexual battery, and mayhem, <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/no-prison-time-for-santa-rosa-man-who-bashed-disfigured-mothers-face-in-front-of-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KRON4 reported</a>. Instead, Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Dana Simonds sentenced him to just four years of probation for the attack, which occurred on October 30, 2023.
Colombano’s attack left a mother, who has not been identified, permanently disfigured. Prosecutors said the victim left her home in Santa Rosa with her 13-year-old daughter, 13-year-old cousin, and the family dog. Shortly after leaving her apartment, Colombano approached the woman from behind and pressed up against her. When the mother tried to get away, Colombano began punching her in the head and grabbed a rock, which he used to repeatedly bash her in the face. He also ripped off the woman’s shirt and bra during the attack. Two bystanders managed to pull Colombano off the victim and hold him until the Santa Rosa Police Department arrived. The attack has left the victim permanently disfigured.
“I have cried more in the last six months than I have in my entire lifetime,” the mother said during Colombano’s sentencing, according to KRON. “My daughter and my little cousin, both thirteen at the time, had to witness the whole thing … I cannot even put into words the feeling of not being able to protect yourself or your child at the same time.”
The Sonoma County Probation Department had recommended a prison sentence for Colombano, saying he “is statutorily limited from receiving probation and we cannot, even after much effort considering the complexities, favorable, and mitigating factors involved in this case, identify any factors that mark this matter an unusual case for probation consideration.”
But Simonds disregarded the recommendation and sentenced Colombano to only probation, saying his mental health issues, as well as his marijuana consumption and stress level were contributing factors in the attack.
“Justice was not served in this case,” Sonoma County District Attorney Carla Rodriguez said in a statement after the sentencing. “This woman will be permanently scarred for the rest of her life, both physically and emotionally. Her daughter and niece’s sense of safety and well-being will never be the same. Mr. Colombano is a menace to public safety, period, and should be sitting in prison.”
It is not the first time Judge Simonds has allowed a dangerous offender to avoid prison time. In February 2024, she overruled the prosecutor’s objections to sentence a repeat felony DUI offender to probation, the DA’s office <a href="https://da.sonomacounty.ca.gov/repeat-felony-dui-offender-sentenced-to-probation-for-a-second-time-was-on-felony-probation-at-the-time-of-this-offense-now-has-five-dui-convictions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.
Juan Garnica Vigil was convicted of DUI five times. On his fourth conviction, instead of jail time, Simonds sentenced him to probation. Vigil was then convicted of DUI a fifth time, but again Simonds only sentenced him to probation.

Political commentator Megyn Kelly slammed the media for ignoring a story that was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doug-emhoff-accused-of-hitting-ex-girlfriend-in-the-face-at-high-profile-event-report">published</a> this week about accusations that Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; husband, Doug Emhoff, hit a woman he was dating in the face because he thought she was flirting with another man.
&#8220;Look, people have marital problems, and they make bad decisions when they&#8217;re married to people that they don&#8217;t love,&#8221; Kelly began. &#8220;However, banging your child&#8217;s nanny and impregnating her is in a special league of its own.&#8221;
&#8220;I think most of us would have left it alone if he hadn&#8217;t then paraded himself out there and let the media parade himself out there like he was the ideal husband on steroids, like he is the new version of what it means to be a real man &#8230; and should really be the role model for my boys and yours,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;F that. I want my boys to be like my husband, who did not bang the nanny, nor impregnate another woman while married to me, or ever. It&#8217;s just insane that they tried to sell us this lie.&#8221;
Kelly then showed a clip of former Biden-Harris official and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki declaring in a recent interview with Emhoff that he had “reshaped the perception of masculinity.”
She then highlighted this week&#8217;s story from the Daily Mail detailing accusations that he hit the woman, only identified in the story as &#8220;Jane,&#8221; in the face.

He &#8220;actually smacked an ex-girlfriend in the face, either a smack or a punch,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;That this super guy who&#8217;s redefined toxic masculinity actually beat a woman that he was dating prior to Kamala. The Daily Mail reports that he did not respond to requests for comment on the article. What does that mean? There&#8217;s not even going to be a denial? I guess they&#8217;ll get around to it, just an allegation right now, but let me tell you, take some time today to read that Daily Mail report, because it&#8217;s incredibly detailed with several friends of the very successful attorney that he was dating, his alleged victim, going to the Daily Mail, providing records to the Daily Mail, speaking in great detail about the call that the abuse victim alleged [sic] made to them after he smacked her in front of other people, in front of French valets over there in Cannes, France.&#8221;
Kelly concluded by saying that she hoped that Pskai &#8220;wasn&#8217;t aware of&#8221; the allegations when the interview occurred.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, if this were a Republican, it would be leading every news channel,&#8221; Kelly said.

The Daily Mail

Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly hit his ex-girlfriend in the face because he thought that she was hitting on another man at a high-profile event more than a decade ago.
Three friends of the woman, a New York lawyer, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13898791/Kamala-Harris-husband-Doug-Emhoff-accused-ex-girlfriend-slap.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_dailymailus">told</a> the Daily Mail about the alleged attack in 2012 on the condition that neither they nor the woman, who was only identified as &#8220;Jane,&#8221; be named out of fear of retaliation.
The altercation reportedly happened at the May 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France as Emhoff and Jane waited in line for a taxi to take them back to their hotel room.
The two met on an online dating website and had been dating for three months when the incident occurred, the report said. The friends provided the British publication with photos of the two together, travel documents, and emails that they say confirm that the two were in a relationship and attended the event together.
The disturbing incident comes after former Biden-Harris official and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki declared in a recent interview with Emhoff that he had &#8220;reshaped the perception of masculinity.&#8221;
Psaki made the remarks even though it had been recently revealed that Emhoff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-husband-admits-to-impregnating-babysitter-while-cheating-on-first-wife">impregnated his children&#8217;s babysitter</a>, which led to the end of his first marriage.

Jane received tickets to the star-studded May 24, 2012, event from wealthy friends and decided to take Emhoff as her plus one.
The first person who Jane told about the alleged assault was one of her male friends, who is a top New York businessman, the report said, who got a phone call from her moments after the attack happened.
&#8220;It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing. She told me she was with a guy and he hit her,&#8221; he told the publication. &#8220;It was very clear what she was telling me. She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time.&#8221;
He said he did not know how to respond and wasn&#8217;t sure if he needed to call the police in France.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
&#8220;It was something like 3am. They were trying to get out of there and they both had been drinking. There was a gigantic line for taxis,&#8221; he said, adding that she &#8220;went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line.&#8221;
&#8220;She told me she put her hand on his shoulder. Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She slapped him back. My impression is that he had a lot to drink. She was sobbing [on the phone afterwards], but she wasn&#8217;t slurring her words. She told me that she broke up with him that night.&#8221;
Jane reportedly told a second friend, who is also a lawyer in New York, about the attack around the time that it happened.
&#8220;They had dinner. She said Doug was very charming, and it was lovely. Then I believe it was between 2-3am, it was still raging, but she was wearing four-inch heels and a floor-length gown, so it was time to depart,&#8221; the lawyer said. &#8220;She said there&#8217;d been no fight before he hit her. You would have thought it was this fairytale trip.&#8221;
&#8220;She put her hand on the valet&#8217;s shoulder, and as she was talking to him, Doug comes up,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;She said he turned her around by her right shoulder, and she was completely caught off guard. He hauled up and slapped her so hard she spun around. She said she was in utter shock.&#8221;
The second friend said that Jane had slapped him back and that she had tried to get out of there by herself but that Emhoff had forced his way into the taxi.
&#8220;She couldn&#8217;t believe he is the person that he is, and that it turned into this trailer trash moment,&#8221; the second friend said. &#8220;It woke her up about the self-delusion she was having, explaining away the teacher story. She realized he was bad news. This was the first time she saw his ugly side.&#8221;
&#8220;She said she called [her male businessman friend] because she wanted Doug to see her on the phone, telling somebody,&#8221; the second friend said. &#8220;She felt that would afford her some protection.&#8221;
A third friend, a female executive, said that Jane told her about the story in 2018.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it was an aggressive slap or a punch, but it was something that I know she would never forget, and something that would end a relationship immediately,&#8221; the third friend said. &#8220;She had never been hit in her life. [Jane] is a gorgeous, strong woman and you would never expect somebody to hit her.&#8221;
&#8220;I asked her if he ever apologized. She said no, but he commented about the hit she gave him. It was a tennis metaphor. But no apology at all,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;He was a tennis fan. All he said to her was, &#8216;Don&#8217;t worry about it, you got one across the court and down the line.'&#8221;
The friends said that Emhoff allegedly told Jane that he impregnated his child&#8217;s babysitter and that the nanny claimed Emhoff was so &#8220;aggressive with her, shouting or whatever, to the degree that she lost the baby.&#8221;
The publication obtained Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) records that showed they were called to the home where the nanny was living in 2009, around the time she was allegedly pregnant, about a &#8220;life threatening emergency, lights and sirens on.&#8221;
The department did not release any information about the incident or who was involved.
The female executive told the publication that she and Jane were both Democrats, and she felt that the public needed to know about Emhoff, given the possibility that his wife could end up becoming president.
&#8220;He&#8217;s holding himself out to be something he absolutely is not. And that&#8217;s bulls***.&#8217; she said. &#8220;[Jane] was always leaning Democratic. I have always voted Democratic. If anything I would like to tell a story on the other side. But this is the truth.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s a really bad guy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;To hold him out as a supporter of women is just disgusting.&#8221;
Neither Emhoff nor Jane responded to requests for comment.

Doug Emhoff Accused Of Hitting Ex-Girlfriend In The Face At High-Profile Event: Report

Politics

An illegal immigrant from Honduras suspected of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl in Louisiana surrendered to the Kenner Police Department on Wednesday.
Diego Rodriguez-Salvador, 24, is accused of holding a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint while driving her to his trailer park home and raping her, NBC&#8217;s New Orleans affiliate WDSU <a href="https://www.wdsu.com/article/kenner-kidnapping-rape-teen-suspect-sought/62056382" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Police asked for the public&#8217;s help in finding Rodriguez-Salvodor before he turned himself over to authorities in New Orleans. WDSU reported that police initially struggled to find the suspect because he is &#8220;undocumented,&#8221; and Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley described him as &#8220;a ghost.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve said it over and over again, it is a challenge for law enforcement across the whole country. When [illegal immigrants] come into this country, they&#8217;re basically ghosts,&#8221; Conley said at a news conference. &#8220;They disappear. We have no identifiers. It&#8217;s challenging to even identify them through any of our databases.&#8221;
The 13-year-old victim told police that she previously knew Rodriguez-Salvador since he was one of her brother&#8217;s friends. The girl said that Rodriguez-Salvador told her he was driving her to the store, but when she noticed he was driving in the wrong direction, she told authorities that the suspect pulled out a knife. After arriving at his trailer park home, Rodriguez-Salvador allegedly forced himself on the girl.
&#8220;Anybody that uses a knife and overpowers a 13-year-old girl to rape them and then flees, that&#8217;s a coward,&#8221; Conley said.

The chief added that the date Rodriguez-Salvodor entered the U.S. is still unknown. The Department of Homeland Security is involved in the investigation.
Earlier this year, two illegal immigrants from Venezuela were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mother-of-12-year-old-alleged-murdered-by-venezuelan-illegal-aliens-speaks-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> in the murder of 12-year-old Houston girl, Jocelyn Nungary. Prosecutors allege that Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, &#8220;lured&#8221; Nungaray &#8220;under a bridge&#8221; where they &#8220;remained with her for over two hours, took her pants off, tied her up and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou.&#8221;
Illegal immigration has become a top concern for voters heading into the 2024 election as Customs and Border Protection has reported record numbers of migrant encounters at the southern border under the Biden administration.

Ugandan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sports">athlete</a> Rebecca Cheptegei is in critical condition after allegedly being doused in gasoline and set on fire by her boyfriend.
The 33-year-old Olympic athlete who most recently competed in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/paris-olympics">Paris</a> had extensive burns on over 75% of her body, according to her doctor, per a <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c984rz0ypeno">BBC News</a> report. She was attacked at her home in western Kenya just across the border from Uganda.
Trans Nzoia County Police Commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom said on Monday that the attack occurred on Sunday, September 1, following a dispute between her and boyfriend Dickson Ndiema. She was said to be returning from church with her two children when the attack occurred. The report alleged the fight had to do with a land dispute.
“The couple were heard quarreling outside their house. During the altercation, the boyfriend was seen pouring a liquid on the woman before burning her,” Kosiom said, per the outlet.
Cheptegei finished 44th in the marathon at the Paris Olympics this summer. She previously won gold at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2022, per BBC.

Upon returning, Dickson, who had procured petrol, began pouring it on Rebecca before he set her ablaze.”
Neighbors are said to have rescued both injured parties and extinguished the flames. Both were transported to Kitale County Referral Hospital. Cheptegei’s parents said she had purchased the property in Trans Nzoia and built a house to be closer to training facilities.

Self-proclaimed neo-nazis recently demonstrated in Nashville, Tennessee, sparking outrage and prompting condemnations from local leaders and members of the Jewish community.
One neo-nazi protester from Canada was charged with felony aggravated assault and disorderly conduct after <a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/neo-nazi-protester-arrested-for-assaulting-nashville-bartender-with-flag-police/">striking</a> a 19-year-old in the ribs and in the face with a flagpole. The incident happened when 15 to 20 neo-nazi demonstrators assembled on Broadway in downtown Nashville.
“Chief John Drake condemned the hate being spread by the Neo-Nazi group,” Metro police said in a statement. “He expressed his appreciation to the MNPD officers who spent their late afternoon/early evening monitoring the group’s activities,” it went on to say.
“I want to say to these visitors from out of town: You are not welcome here,” Council Member at Large Zulfat Suara <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-810898">said</a>. “Nashville government condemns all forms of hate, and when you come for one of us, you’re coming for all of us, and we continue to stand together for Nashvillians.”
Nashville Metropolitan Police Department Chief John Drake explained that the group is believed to be operating out of a rental property in Kentucky. Chief Drake also noted that police officers monitored the demonstrations by the neo-nazi group in order to prevent altercations between them and passerbys.
“Even Nazi speech is protected under the United States Constitution,” Drake said while also assuring that police would step in if members of the group engaged in any illegal activity. He also advised members of the public to avoid interacting with the group, explaining that they were filming videos to use in propaganda.
Nashville Jewish Federation CEO Rabbi Dan Horowitz condemned the organization’s rally and called on local law enforcement to enforce laws against parades without permits, wearing masks for disguise on public property, and littering at a Nashville City Council meeting on Tuesday.
“We have been warning our local and state elected officials to act, and thus far, insufficient action has been taken to enforce our current laws,” the Horowitz’s organization said on social media. “We very much appreciate the efforts of law enforcement to disrupt these activities to the extent possible, and we now call on our elected officials to use the full force and effect of our local and state laws.”

A pro-abortion woman physically assaulted a pro-life activist in Portland after she claimed that miscarriages are abortions and he disagreed.
As RedState <a href="https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/05/29/watch-scary-scene-as-biden-rushes-a-reporter-and-shows-his-derangement-n2174791">reported</a>, the pro-lifer had a sign emblazoned “abortion is murder” when he was accosted by the pro-abortion woman, who was accompanied by her young daughter.
“Women are being airlifted from Idaho to Oregon right now because they can’t get life-saving emergency abortions,” the woman claimed. “Doctors are saying it’s only a matter of time before somebody bleeds out in a helicopter. Any day now it’s going to happen. We’re gonna have the first death on a helicopter of a woman being moved to Oregon for an abortion. Are you cool with that?”
“No, that&#8217;s very sad. What percentage is it of those women?” the pro-lifer responded.
“What do you mean what ******* percentage? All of them. That&#8217;s the only way they can get abortions, is by coming here,” the woman snapped.
“Every woman that&#8217;s getting an abortion is due to medical procedures?” he asked,
“No, most abortions are,” she claimed.
“No, they&#8217;re not,” he responded.
“My abortion was of a dead embryo. That&#8217;s most abortions,” she said.
“Okay, I&#8217;m sorry to hear that,” he answered.
Then she claimed, “That&#8217;s most abortions.”
“That&#8217;s not most abortions,” he countered.

“Yes, it is, because have you looked at the statistics? Most abortions are clean-ups after miscarriages, and women can&#8217;t even get those. No, you&#8217;re a ******* moron because miscarriages are extremely common and most women opt to have&#8230;” she started.
“Miscarriages and abortions are different,” he pointed out. “What is an abortion?”
“No, a miscarriage is a medical abortion,” she insisted.
“No, it&#8217;s not. Let me educate you,” he offered.
That prompted the woman to take a swing at him and the woman filming the incident before he forced her to the ground as her daughter started crying.
“The woman is also lying about access to the medical procedure she describes,” RedState noted. “There is not a single state in the union that outlaws real doctors at real medical facilities from removing a baby&#8217;s body after a miscarriage.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrities</a> slammed Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs on Friday after a disturbing video was published on Friday that allegedly showed him beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel in Los Angeles several years ago.
CNN, which obtained the video, said that the incident happened on March 5, 2016, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
The video purportedly shows Combs running down the hall after Ventura and catching up to her as she waited for an elevator.
Combs allegedly grabbed her, threw her on the ground, kicked her, and attempted to drag her back to the hotel room. He later appeared to shove her in a corner before sitting on a nearby chair and throwing an object at her.
Rapper 50 Cent <a href="https://twitter.com/50cent/status/1791529907501113748" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> the video on X, writing: &#8220;Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all.&#8221;
Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski responded to a post of the video on X by writing: &#8220;Monster.&#8221;
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy posted on X: &#8220;Throw Diddy in jail. Throw away the key. Throw away the key to whoever had this video and kept their mouth shut. I mean holy f***.&#8221;
ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith said that Combs&#8217; career was &#8220;over&#8221; following the video&#8217;s release, which was viewed tens of millions of times across social media in just an hour.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

Marvel star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actor-jonathan-majors-speaks-out-for-first-time-following-guilty-verdict-in-assault-trial">Jonathan Majors</a> was sentenced to complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling program on Monday, avoiding prison time after being convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced the 34-year-old actor to conditional discharge, noting that Majors had no prior criminal record and that both sides agreed the charges didn&#8217;t warrant jail time, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/jonathan-majors-assault-sentencing-marvel-new-york-24212fa7708d397452d44f9cbc9fb127">Associated Press</a> reported.
Last year, a Manhattan jury found Majors guilty of two misdemeanor assault counts, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/08/nyregion/jonathan-majors-sentencing.html">New York Times</a> reported.
The judge said Majors must complete an in-person batterers intervention program and continue with mental health therapy. If he violates those terms, the actor could face a year behind bars. He was also ordered to have no contact with Jabbari, the AP noted.

Majors left the courtroom without speaking to the media. According to his attorney, Majors did not want to make a statement because of a pending civil suit Jabbari filed against him last month. 
Jabbari claimed Majors demonstrated a &#8220;pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023,&#8221; <a href="https://people.com/jonathan-majors-escapes-jail-time-after-conviction-8625372?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=12573176-20240408&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_content=040824&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;lr_input=a08f4ce0dc67f7e22d138c82b9ce538ad294bfaca0b145e2f563962e58e05ef7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> noted. His lawyer said, &#8220;This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.&#8221;
Majors is &#8220;committed to growing as a person&#8221; and will complete any court-mandated programs &#8220;with an open heart,&#8221; Priya Chaudhry, his attorney, reportedly said.  
In January, Majors spoke to ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce4rYGAXLvA">Good Morning America&#8221;</a> following the reckless assault conviction and said that he &#8220;felt like it was time&#8221; to tell his side of the story following the domestic dispute with Jabbari, adding that &#8220;a lot has happened&#8221; in his &#8220;personal life&#8221; and &#8220;career.&#8221;
Majors <a href="https://x.com/GMA/status/1744353537536987553?s=20">denied</a> he physically assaulted Jabbari when asked if he was responsible for any of her injuries, a fractured finger and cut behind her ear.

&#8220;I was reckless with her heart, not with her body,&#8221; Majors replied. &#8220;I should have been brave. I should have said, &#8216;No, this isn&#8217;t working.&#8217; And I should have walked away, and I didn&#8217;t…If I leave the relationship, none of this is happening.&#8221;
When pressed about how Jabbari got the injuries, Majors said he had no idea.
&#8220;I wish to God I knew,&#8221; Majors said. &#8220;That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it. [I] never hit a woman. My hands have never struck a woman, ever.&#8221;

&#8220;Notebook&#8221; actor John Cardoza told followers that he was robbed at gunpoint in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> on Sunday at a local Dunkin&#8217; Donuts shop.
The 30-year-old Broadway star was eating at the Harlem shop around 2 p.m. when he said a &#8220;middle-aged Black man&#8221; approached him asking for a dollar, police and sources told the <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/04/01/notebook-actor-john-cardoza-robbed-at-gunpoint-in-harlem-dunkin-donuts/">New York Daily News</a>.
Cardoza, who plays younger Noah in the play, wrote on Instagram that he &#8220;offered to buy him lunch because I didn&#8217;t have cash on me, and it escalated from there pretty quickly.&#8221;
Police said the man, who had his hand in his pocket, told the actor, &#8220;I have a gun.&#8221;
Cardoza wrote on social media that, &#8220;Ultimately, he didn&#8217;t make off with anything irreplaceable. It makes me sad to think people are as desperate as this – and it makes me sad to feel a need to alert anyone to this kind of activity.&#8221;
Police told the outlet that the man ended up taking off with the Broadway actor&#8217;s wallet containing personal items and $9 in cash. At the time of this publication, no arrest has been made.
Cardoza later sent a message to followers on Instagram that this is the &#8220;world we&#8217;re living in.&#8221;

The attack comes just days after reality star Bethenny Frankel said she was punched in the face by an unknown assailant while walking the streets of New York. 
Frankel responded to fashion design student Mikayla Toninato, who had shared her experience of being “punched in the face” via TikTok, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/real-housewives-bethenny-frankel-says-she-was-punched-in-random-nyc-attack">reported</a>.
“This is insane bc this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say,” the 53-year-old reality Frankel shared in a comment last week, which has since been deleted. “I was on the UWS [Upper West Side]. Insane. I was taking video of a bakery.”
Dozens of women have reported similar unprovoked punching attacks in Manhattan.

&#8220;The Real Housewives of New York City&#8221; cast member Bethenny Frankel said she was involved in a random <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime">attack</a> on the streets of Manhattan as other women posted similar stories on social media.
Frankel responded to fashion design student Mikayla Toninato, who had shared her experience of being &#8220;punched in the face&#8221; via <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a>, per <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/03/27/entertainment/bethenny-frankel-punched-on-nyc-street-in-random-attack/">Page Six</a>. 
“This is insane bc this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say,” the 53-year-old reality star shared in a comment on Tuesday, which has since been deleted. “I was on the UWS [Upper West Side]. Insane. I was taking video of a bakery.”
Dozens of women have reported similar unprovoked punching attacks in Manhattan. TikTok influencer Halley Kate <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykate/video/7350308300317314350">shared</a> her story on Monday. “You guys, I was literally just walking, and a man came up and punched me in the face,” she said while crying and showing her bruised face. “Oh my God, it’s so bad. I can’t even talk.”
The incidents are allegedly related to a trend called the “knockout game,” which involves participants assaulting random strangers for no reason. 
NYPD addressed the incidents with a post on X.

&#8220;The NYPD is aware of a viral video circulating on social media depicting a woman who was randomly assaulted in an unprovoked attack,&#8221; the update shared on Wednesday <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPDnews/status/1773191476937113654">said</a>. &#8220;The individual has been arrested and charged and is a criminal recidivist with an extensive criminal record.&#8221;
&#8220;Your NYPD detectives were able to identify the man after he was previously arrested for similar attacks, only to be released back onto our streets. This incident will be his third arrest in the past six months,&#8221; the post continued. &#8220;Your officers will continue to remain resilient in their efforts to stop violent criminals, ensuring the safety of our communities.&#8221;
Several commenters voiced their frustration over offenders being released and committing crimes again.
One reply said, “here fixed it for you, ‘Your officers will continue to remain resilient in their efforts to stop violent criminals, ensure they have actually committed the accused crimes, then immediately release them back onto the streets to re-offend.’”
