“I was like, ‘Yo, guys, cut that out.’ And they decided, ‘Alright, if he’s not going to get it, you’re going to get it.’ And boy did they give it to me,” Klotz said. “They had me on the ground. My ribs are all bruised up, too. They got their hits in.”
Police sources said the meteorologist was on a No. 1 train around 1:15 a.m. when he confronted the teens, who may have been smoking weed at the time, too.
After the attack, the young suspects ran from the train at the 18th Street stop, but three of them—two 15-year-olds and a 17-year-old—were quickly apprehended by police, according to sources.
The group was ultimately let go by the police.
A representative for the NYPD stated on Sunday that "juvenile reports were completed, and their parents were asked to take them up."
Unknown as to why the three arrested suspects weren't charged, an NYPD official said on Sunday that the agency was unable to do so due to the suspects' ages and the fact that the offense seemed to be a misdemeanor.
A rep for the city Law Department, which prosecutes juvenile crimes in the Big Apple, said in an e-mail that the victim has to file a complaint with the Department of Probation before it gets involved. Probation would then decide whether to refer the case to the Law Department for prosecution, the representative said.
The 17-year-old suspect could have been charged as an adult before the state’s “Raise the Age” law, which took effect in 2019. The revised law raised the age for a youngster to be charged as an adult from 17 to 18.
