It’s worth noting that the pictures hardly support his story that he was taking pictures of Times Square and that some woman, was caught in a corner angle punched.

They show a woman in full frame who’s clearly already agitated and angry with him.

She’s also wearing a short dress and looks like she was dressed for a night clubbing.

It’s possible that his story is true but it seems much more likely he was taking pictures of her and she, understandably got upset.
