The millionaire investment banker who was filmed punching a woman in Brooklyn during a Pride event has resigned from his high-paying job.

Jonathan Kaye, 52, was the Managing Director at Moelis & Company, a leading investment bank with offices in Midtown Manhattan.

He was put on leave after the viral June 8 incident, which reportedly left the 38-year-old woman with a broken nose and a black eye.

On Monday a spokesman told DailyMail.com Kaye has since resigned from his post at the firm.

As exclusively reported by DailyMail.com, sources close to Kaye claimed he was threatened, called anti-Semitic slurs and doused in a mystery liquid moments before he was filmed punching the woman.

The insiders said the viral clip did not capture the full clash, which began when a group of four female 'Queers for Palestine' supporters started allegedly taunting Kaye - who is Jewish - as he returned from dinner.

Kaye is said to have told the group that they were 'on the wrong side', prompting the women to gang up on him, the source said.

'You could say that he initiated it, but he didn't,' a source told DailyMail.com. 

'He just said 'you are on the wrong side', and then the four of them came at him - they threw liquids at him. He didn't know what the liquid was. They were shouting slurs at him.

'He fell or he was chest bumped, and can't remember that bit. But he ended up on the pavement with them four over him.

Kaye was filmed throwing a vicious overhand right at an unnamed woman in Brooklyn - where he also lives in a four bedroom townhouse in pricey Park Slope, valued at just over $4million

'He got up and swung at one as he was trying to escape, and then he ran.'

They also claim that the footage shows Kaye covered in liquid, with a stain on his back, in the now-viral video.

Pictures obtained by DailyMail.com show Kaye's clothes soaked in a red liquid, which he believes was Gatorade, and blood pooling around his ankle after he was shoved to the floor.

After the incident, posters with his face, home address and cell phone were plastered in the area close to his $4million four-bedroom townhouse in pricey Park Slope, as neighbors erupted and demanded the father-of-three be arrested.

In the clip, the woman is seen being thrown to the floor by the force of the punch, as one onlooker unsuccessfully rushes to her aid.

Others looking on are heard calling Kaye an 'a**hole' and telling him to 'go f**k himself' - earning his attention briefly before he abruptly walks away.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the viral clip does not tell the whole story, which they claim began when a group of Queers for Palestine supporters attacked Kaye as he left dinner.

A criminal investigation into the altercation is ongoing. 

Kaye, who lives his wife, owns multiple properties on the street, which he rents out to neighbors.

In his former job he oversaw 10 verticals within Moelis's Business Services faction, managing 'a dedicated team of bankers and... an extensive network of relationships with both strategic companies and private equity investors,' according to his profile on Moelis's website.

Before working at Moelis, Kaye was a managing director at Citibank.
