A New York City man out on lifetime parole for murdering his own mother in 2002 has been arrested in the vicious attack on a 65-year-old Asian American woman on her way to church near Times Square, police said Wednesday. Cops charged 38-year-old Brandon Elliot with assault and hate crime offenses after officers blanketed the midtown Manhattan neighborhood with wanted posters featuring his photo. They had offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of the man seen on surveillance video Monday brutalizing the woman as she walked to church. Elliot was released from prison in 2019 after serving time for murdering his mother 17 years prior, according to an NYPD spokesperson.
