Summary
NYPD said 27-year-old Abigail Holbrook of Philadelphia was charged after allegedly hitting one Central Park horse-carriage driver in the face and shoulder with a skateboard and punching a second driver Tuesday.
Video of the confrontation shows Holbrook accusing the drivers of abusing horses and shouting that horses are too sensitive for New York City's light and noise before the exchange turned violent.
Police responded to 59th Street and West Drive after a 911 call, and the alleged assault was captured on camera near the carriage stand.
TWU Local 100 condemned the incident as outrageous and unacceptable, with an official calling for a more visible police presence at park horse-carriage stands to protect workers from harassment and attacks.
