(NEW YORK) — A man who used a tree branch in an assault spree throughout downtown Manhattan has been arrested.
The chaos began Sunday evening when New Jersey resident Bryan Thompson, 43, allegedly struck three people over the head on the subway platform for the 1 train on Canal Street just after 6:30 p.m., ABC New York station WABC reported.
Thompson then allegedly left the station and struck a fourth victim in her head on Varick and Canal Streets before approaching a car and attacking the driver, police said.
When the driver of that car fled, Thompson allegedly took the vehicle, sped off and then crashed into two parked cars, according to authorities.
After crashing, Thompson allegedly smashed the side window of another vehicle, police said, but the female driver of that car did not get out.
Thompson then allegedly attacked a man and woman on the street nearby with the tree branch before approaching a third vehicle and hitting it with the branch.
When the driver of that vehicle got out, Thompson got behind the wheel and drove away, police said. The car was spotted on West 24th Street and 12th Avenue at about 7 p.m.
Thompson reportedly lost control of the car, crashed into an NYPD radio vehicle and hit a center median before coming to a stop on the West Side Highway near Chelsea Piers, according to police.
When Thompson refused commands by police officers to exit the vehicle, they broke the driver’s side window and deployed a stun gun on him.
Thompson was taken to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with several counts of assault and robbery, according to police.
The first four victims suffered lacerations to their head, while the man attacked on the street sustained a broken arm, police said. The woman on the street suffered lacerations and bruising to her leg.
ABCCarly Pearce ushered in 2021 with an acoustic round at the Listening Room Cafe in Nashville over the weekend, where she debuted a heartbreaker of a new song, “Didn’t Do.”
Co-written by Carly, Ashley Gorley and Emily Shackelton, the gentle piano ballad finds the singer laying out all the ways her former lover didn’t support her in the ways she needed.
“I ain’t gonna go and tell you what he did, but I’ll tell you what he didn’t do,” Carly sings, prefacing a list of let-downs that include not being treated right by a man who wasn’t always true to his word.
“The devil’s in the details/I won’t tell the hell that he put me through/All I know is in the end it wasn’t what he did, no /It was what he didn’t do,” Carly sang, eliciting cheers from the crowd.
“Didn’t Do” is one of a handful of new songs Carly’s shared since her divorce from Michael Ray in June. Her current single, “Next Girl,” follows the chart-topping hit “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” featuring Lee Brice.

And I’m one of the lucky ones. I repeat! I’m young healthy and diligent about my health and this virus knocked me the f*** down and continues to do so. Even trying to just write this out is proving to be … exhausting.”
