New York City police Tuesday arrested a suspect who allegedly sucker-punched a 71-year-old grandmother, breaking her jaw nearly two weeks ago, the NYPD reported on Twitter.

Joan Baptiste was walking to her Brooklyn home from her daycare job Sept. 19 when Jaquan Whittle, 27, allegedly knocked her to the ground, New York's WPIX-TV reported.
