Mary Papenfuss.Trends Reporter, HuffPost Thu, December 31, 2020, 8:02 PM PST The New York City Police Department released a dramatic surveillance video of a white woman tackling a Black teenager she accused of stealing her cell phone, which she had actually left behind in an Uber cab. The unidentified woman leaped on the 14-year-old boy, the son of popular jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, as she ordered him to turn over his cell phone. The attack occurred in the lobby of the Arlo Hotel in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood on Saturday. The woman fled the hotel before police arrived. Her phone was recovered that day by an Uber driver and returned, according to police. Harrold, who played the trumpet in the Grammy-award-winning soundtrack to the 2015 Miles Davis biopic "Miles Ahead," had also filmed part of the scene with his cell phone as he tried to protect his son. The woman can be heard ordering the teen to give his phone to her as Harrold argues with her. Harrold suffered scratches on this hand in the confrontation, according to police. "I am furious!!! We see this crap happening all the time, but it hits different when it hits home!!!" Harrold wrote on his Instagram post including the video.
