The baseball bat-wielding suspect in a brazen attack in New York City was released less than 24 hours after his arrest, Fox News has confirmed.
Karim Azizi, 36, was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection to an attack on a man in broad daylight that was captured on video. He was arraigned that afternoon and released from jail early Thursday morning after his girlfriend made bail, according to his attorney
"He posted the entire bail amount of $7,500, and is at liberty," Azizi's attorney Jason Goldman said.
Prosecutors had asked the court to set bail at $40,000, given the violent nature of the attack, but the court instead set bail at $7,500, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office.
Azizi, who has no prior criminal history, was arrested at around 8 a.m. Wednesday and charged with assault, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon for the Nov. 29 attack on Amsterdam Avenue and West 148th Street in Harlem.
