Police noted that the suspect did walk out of the building to retrieve a large kitchen knife from a backpack.

Vasquez-Paulino then stuffed the knife in his sleeve, threatening the woman with the weapon once inside.

He does eventually flee from the scene, throwing the knife out of frame.

Vasquez-Paulino was charged with misdemeanors for the assault, but the new bail reforms under Governor Cuomo required police to release him with an appearance ticket.

New York recently joined California and New Jersey in prohibiting cash bails for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, Vox reports. The new reform law has been met with controversy.
