NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – A Brooklyn man was arrested Thursday for allegedly throwing hot water on three women in separate incidents near Penn Station in Midtown on Wednesday morning.
Hours after releasing images of the suspect, the NYPD said they had arrested Larry Martin, 42, on a charge of assault.
All three incidents happened sometime between 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., according to cops.
The first incident happened when Martin allegedly threw hot water at a 49-year-old woman's face near Sixth Avenue and West 56th Street.
Then, about 30 minutes later, he allegedly threw a cup of hot liquid at a 45-year-old woman as she was leaving the subway at West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue, according to police.
