The maniac who allegedly knifed a USPS employee to loss of life throughout a squabble in a Harlem deli final week was caught on video brawling in Higher Manhattan final spring.
Jaia Cruz is seen in the midst of third Avenue and East 121st Avenue wildly swinging a white image body at a person’s head in broad daylight in the beginning of the three-minute resurfaced clip.
The person then punches the trans lady within the face, and when she tries to run away, a second man fees up and bashes her head.
The second assailant then drags Cruz to the bottom by her hair, the place he continues to kick and beat her.
The primary attacker proceeds to yank Cruz’s hair and grabs her purse earlier than the pair saunter off, the video reveals.
“Aye, yo, don’t kill that n—a, bro!” a bystander repeatedly shouts within the clip, which was posted on X by the account New York Sh–ty.
