NYC man who randomly punched TikTok influencer convicted for that assault and other attacks

A man who randomly punched a woman walking down a Manhattan street nearly two years ago has been convicted of hate crime charges for that assault and several others. A Manhattan judge on Wednesday found Skiboky Stora guilty of assaulting, stalking and harassing strangers in what prosecutors described as a series of anti-female, anti-white, and antisemitic incidents. The March 25, 2024, assault on a then-23-year-old woman attracted wide attention after the victim posted about it on TikTok and several other people described similar attacks. Stora represented himself during the weekslong trial. He's being held in custody and will be sentenced in April.
