The 23-year-old woman busted last week in a brutal caught-on-video bottle attack on a New York City subway cellist was arrested again on Tuesday for allegedly stealing a pricey baseball cap.
Amira Hunter was busted for petit larceny at the Nordstrom on West 57th at 3:40 p.m. for supposedly stealing a $235 Moncler baseball hat, police said.
A witness called 911 to report the alleged theft, the authorities added.
The latest arrest comes less than one week after Hunter was nabbed for allegedly bashing cellist Iain S. Forrest in the head while he was performing in the Herald Square subway station.
Judge Marva Brown cut Hunter lose at her arraignment the following day – despite the prosecutor pointing out that she had failed to appear to three of her five court days in other, unrelated criminal cases.
New York City Transit Commissioner Michael Kemper referred to Hunter’s new arrest as an example of what Mayor Eric Adams referred to as the city’s “recidivism problem” during a Wednesday morning sit-down on NY1.
“This woman had…active bench warrants for failing to report to court,” Kemper pointed out.
“The judge released her…against the prosecutor’s wishes,” he explained.
