“The victim was treated & released from the hospital & is getting the care, advocacy & support needed,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea tweeted Saturday.

The suspect has been identified as 36-year-old Marc Gomez of Yonkers, according to CBS New York.

The video, which went viral earlier this month, depicts the man kicking a 78-year-old woman in the face repeatedly and apparently at random, according to The Daily Beast. Bystanders made no move to stop the assault.

Upon getting up to leave the train in the Bronx, the suspect told witnesses to “WorldStar that,” a reference to a website that often posts videos of fights and beatings, the outlet reported.
