   They finally got him — but forgive me if I’m not popping the bubbly.   
      
   The monster who randomly sucker-punched me in the gut while I was walking   
   to work two years ago was arrested on Aug. 18 — and given an insulting $1   
   bail by infamously soft-on-crime Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.   
      
   Luckily, he’s behind bars on Rikers Island — because he allegedly tried to   
   sell drugs to an undercover cop just before he was collared. That case was   
   given to Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan and bail was set at   
   $200,000.

   Kamieo Caines, who was wanted for assaulting me, was arrested on drug   
   charges charges earlier this month in Midtown.   
   Steven Hirsch   
   Kamieo Caines, 36, a violent recidivist with 20 prior arrests who was on   
   parole when he attacked me, wasn’t caught for two years — and when he   
   finally was, the statute of limitations on my assault case had already run   
   out.   
      
   Police were only able to charge Caines in my assault because cops were   
   actively seeking him in the drug case – which kept the clock in my case   
   legally ticking, a police source told me.   
      
   But Caines was always their top suspect, cops told me. So I, like   
   thousands of NYC crime victims before me, am forced to wonder: What took   
   so damn long?   
      
   I took a photo of Caines on Chambers Street and Broadway moments after he   
   slugged me as we passed each other at around 10 a.m. on Aug. 8, 2023. He   
   didn’t say a word after hitting me and took off toward the nearby No.   
   1/2/3 subway line. I gave the photo to detectives.   
      
   His parole officer even confirmed his ID to cops after my assault. But I   
   wasn’t able to pick him out in a photo array at the precinct stationhouse.   
      
   Cops looked for the ex-con, but their hands were tied because of criminal-   
   friendly bail reform.   
      
   No judge would have held him for simple assault — a misdemeanor. Since   
   bail reform laws passed in 2019 the offense hasn’t been bail eligible —   
   and police know that all too well.   
      
   Even if officers arrested Caines two years ago, he would have been right   
   back out on the street. The system’s revolving door is one of the things   
   that frustrates police officers and has so many of them racing for the   
   exits.   
      
   It’s even more infuriating as a victim.   
      
   In what world should a repeat felony offender attack a stranger and walk   
   free for two years without punishment?   
      
   This happens more often than it should. There have been 29,963 misdemeanor   
   assaults like mine in the city so far this year, according to NYPD data.   
   That’s a 2.6% drop from 30,754 at the same time last year. But it’s a   
   37.5% jump from five years ago.   
      
   I got the call from Bragg’s office about Caines while I was away on   
   vacation.   
      
   Caines was busted at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and West 35th   
   Street in Midtown Aug. 18 after cops saw him selling drugs to another   
   person, according to a criminal complaint against him. When cops searched   
   Caines they discovered 17 vials of crack and seven baggies of heroin on   
   him, the paperwork shows.   
      
   Investigators with the NYPD Narcotics Bureau had been looking for Caines   
   since he sold undercover cops almost three ounces of cocaine over two days   
   in November 2022 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, according to the paperwork.   
   He was charged with three counts of criminal sale of a controlled   
   substance.   
      
   Caines has 20 prior arrests for violent crimes on his record, including   
   assault and weapon possession, according to police sources.   
      
   He was imprisoned for a conviction in the 2017 attack on two men with a   
   box cutter during the evening rush inside the Fulton Street subway station   
   in Manhattan. That bloodletting happened about six blocks from where he   
   punched me.   
      
   Caines was discharged from Collins Correctional Facility in Erie County on   
   Jan. 18, 2022. His parole ended on April 29 this year.   
      
   He was convicted in 2013 for injuring a person while confined at Rikers.   
   He was sentenced to three years in prison and five years parole for that.   
   While on parole, his bail was revoked twice for failure to appear,   
   officials said at his Aug. 20 arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court.   
      
   Caines was still raging during that recent court appearance.   
      
   At one point, he allegedly kicked another inmate in the head multiple   
   times while waiting in line to be searched. Then, he spit in the faces of   
   two EMS workers who came to take the man to the hospital, prosecutors and   
   a police source said.   
      
   Caines also threatened “to kill everyone around him” during the intake   
   process, officials said.   
      
   I reported my assault so nobody else would get hurt. It seemed like the   
   right thing to do when so many people have been randomly struck while   
   walking down the street   
      
   I have a restraining order to keep my attacker away from me for a year,   
   and Bragg’s office offered to help me with victim’s services.   
      
   I’ve written plenty of stories about crimes — from the horrible to the   
   heartbreaking — as a crime reporter in the Big Apple for more than 20   
   years.   
      
   Stories about random assaults exploded since bail reform went into effect   
   in 2019.   
      
   New York needs to do better by me — and all the other victims of crime in   
   this city.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
