Brooklyn Man Accused Of Unprovoked Assault Spree: DA

BROOKLYN, NY — Damally Cain, a 24-year-old from East Flatbush, was accused of attacking three women in Flatlands this August and has been indicted on attempted murder and assault charges, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said on Monday.

Gonzalez said Cain was accused of third-degree assault for attacking a 52-year-old woman and pulling her to the ground on Aug. 18 around 4:30 p.m., near 1608 Flatbush Ave.

Gonzalez said the court also accuses Cain of pushing a 66-year-old woman to the ground, punching and kicking her, and slamming her head into the pavement on Aug. 18 near the intersection of East 40th Street and Hubbard Place around 4:40 p.m.

Then, 10 minutes later, Cain attacked a third woman, punching her, ripping off her ponytail extension and throwing a drink in her face near 1707 Flatbush Ave., and attempting to steal her phone and wallet, the court alleges.

Cain was arrested on Aug. 22.

“This defendant allegedly committed a series of terrifying and unprovoked attacks against multiple women, and my Office is working diligently to ensure that he is no longer a danger to our community," District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.

Cain was arraigned on Monday by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Deepa Ambekar, and accused of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree attempted assault, two counts of second-degree assault, second- and third-degree attempted robbery, fourth-degree attempted grand larceny, and third-degree assault.

Ambekar ordered Cain to be held on a $30,000 bond or $15,000 cash bail and return to court on Dec. 12.

"We have no tolerance for this kind of random violence in Brooklyn,” Gonzalez said.
