A blogger in New York -Davy V-  first outlined the attack.   Then we posted the assault, then Chuck Ross posted it via The Daily Caller, then WHAMMO !  Fox News picked up the story and it just ran on Megyn Kelly show and Sean Hannity has picked it up.

Sunlight is indeed the BEST disinfectant.   Previously the Rochester Police Department stated:

“Rochester Police Department Sgt. Elena Correia  told Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle newspaper that she DOES NOT consider the incident an assault, but rather a “simple case of harassment”!  (link)

The Daily Caller News Foundation followed up with Correia. “At this time  there are no updates,” she said.

“Based on the video itself and on New York penal law, it constitutes  harassment.”

The DCNF asked Correia if investigators saw that “True Goon” had hit the woman  with his fist.

“Yes, we saw that,” she said, but clarified that an assault charge would  require the victim to suffer “substantial pain”.  (link)

What a difference a few days of sunlight and increasing publicity makes.   Today:

(Via Democrat and Chronicle Newspaper) The Rochester Police Department arrested a 16-year-old  Wednesday in connection to a “Smack Cam” video posted online.

Police issued a Violation of Probation warrant for  Devin Alexander.   Alexander is suspected of being in a video depicting a man striking a woman in the head.

“As an organization, RPD was appalled by the behavior depicted on the video,” RPD said in a released statement Wednesday. “Although the victim never contacted the police regarding this incident, RPD immediately and proactively commenced an investigation as we became aware of the video.”

[…]  “RPD is working with Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, and the Monroe County Probation Department, to pursue all possible avenues to address this event”. (link)
