Summary
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said officers arrested 32-year-old Di-Quan Schafar Hunt on Thursday after spotting a social media account with videos detectives were already examining in a July 30 sidewalk assault case.
One video was determined to depict the East Boulevard attack, in which police say Hunt punched a woman and fled; the victim suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was hospitalized.
Hunt was taken to a local medical facility after his arrest and will be transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office for an assault with a deadly weapon charge upon release.
Police said the investigation remains active because other videos on the account may show additional assaults, though authorities have not confirmed whether the women in those clips have been identified.
Mecklenburg County records show at least nine prior arrests since 2023, including assault-related charges, but the available booking records do not show case outcomes and charges are not convictions.
