Palestine protester punched during anti-Semitic attack by Jewish investment banker Jonathan Kaye was thrown out of New York's City Hall for having a weapon three months earlier
The woman New York investment banker Jonathan Kaye was accused of punching when he was swarmed by a group of anti-Semitic protesters last month, was previously escorted out of an NYC Council hearing for having a small weapon, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Micah Phillips, a BLM activist and anti-Israel protester, identified herself on social media as the woman at whom Kaye was seen throwing a punch in a viral video of the altercation following the Brooklyn Pride Parade in early June.
The financier's attorneys have argued that he reacted in self-defense after he was attacked by a group of 'Queers for Palestine' supporters who had allegedly hurled anti-Semitic slurs at him before dousing him with liquids and shoving him to the ground.
Kaye, who has since stepped down from his managing director role at Moelis & Company, was arraigned on second and third degree assault charges earlier this month in Brooklyn, where Phillips's supporters were once again seen heckling and throwing objects at him outside the court house.
And now unearthed video obtained by DailyMail.com shows that just months earlier Phillips had been involved in another altercation after she brought a small weapon - believed to be pepper spray - to a council meeting in City Hall.
Unearthed video obtained by DailyMail.com shows that just months earlier Phillips had been involved in another altercation after she brought a small weapon - believed to be pepper spray - to a council meeting in City Hall.
New York investment banker Jonathan Kaye was arraigned on misdemeanor assault charges earlier this month after he was seen punching Phillips during an altercation in Brooklyn in June
The clip of the March 22 incident begins with a hysterical Phillips, who is wearing a keffiyeh scarf, shouting at building officials and police after she was kicked out of the chambers.
'This is my f***ng right! This is my f***ing right! This is my right to testify! You're kicking me out even though I got through your security with this,' she says referring to the small weapon.
'I'm telling you I'll throw it out and you still won't let me in, I'm making a f***ing scene! I'm making a f***ing scene!'
The video shows Phillips accompanied by fellow protester Alvin Dan, 32, who was identified as one of the hecklers filmed hurling insults at Kaye after his court hearing on July 1.
'They let her in the building the first time, she can throw it out,' Dan says in an attempt to negotiate with officials at the door.
Phillips, still shouting, then tries to reason with them as well, offering to toss the weapon in exchange for going back inside.
'Let me throw it out! Let me throw it out! Let me throw it out! I got this because I'm a woman in New York!' she shouts.
As she continues yelling, officials finally take action by clearing the area before ultimately shutting the chamber doors as the raucous protesters are escorted out.

Phillips identified herself as the woman involved in the June 8 fracas and took to Instagram on July 1 to share photos of her injuries as well as her outrage over Kaye's downgraded charges in the wake of his court hearing
According to social media, Phillips is part of the Crown Heights C.A.R.E. Collective, a social justice group advocating for 'abolition' and 'against policing.'
Records show fellow activist Alvin Dan also has a history of brushes with the law, and currently has two criminal cases in New York, including a pending case in Kings County involving charges of obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, attempted assault, and harassment.
In the wake of the June 8 incident involving Kaye, Phillips had shared Instagram posts containing the banker's employer's information and urging followers and supporters to call the firm to demand his termination.
'Moelis has still not fired Jonathan Kaye for his violent assault on myself and my friends at Pride. This is unacceptable for them to hope that we forget and move on while he keeps his position of power! Please please share and PLEASE keep calling!' she wrote in a June 13 post.
Weeks later she took to Instagram again to slam prosecutors over Kaye's downgraded charges after his July 1 court appearance, while sharing photos of her injuries sustained in the incident.
'Just found out Jonathan Kaye was arrested today and his felony assault charges were taken down to misdemeanors, so he can beat us up and cause permanent, lifelong injuries and get away with it because he's a rich white man?' she captioned the post.
'The Brooklyn DA are cowards and I can't believe this man is going to be able to walk away with essentially no record of his terror,' she added.
At the time DailyMail.com published video and photos showing Kaye being targeted by Alvin Dan and fellow supporters of Phillips as he left the courthouse after this hearing.
Kaye was arraigned in Brooklyn on July 1, where he and his lawyer were later met by attackers, who threw a drink at his head while hurling anti-Semitic slurs as he left the courthouse
Disturbing video footage showed one member of the group - believed to be Phillips's fellow activist and friend Alvin Dan - putting his keys between his fingers as he approached Kay
Dan was seen hurling a drink at Kaye as he followed him on the street when he left court
He was arrested on the morning of July 1 after he willingly turned himself in to police in Brooklyn and was arraigned hours later.
Upon leaving court, Kaye and his lawyer were met by attackers, at least one of whom, believed to be Dan, went after Kaye with keys, according to eyewitnesses.
The group was also heard hurling anti-Semitic slurs, with at least one member of the pro-Hamas group calling out 'Zionist pigs' and 'Jewish dogs', video showed.
The man physically attacked the lawyer from behind and then tried to chase Kaye with his car keys between his fingers.
A woman eventually told the attacker to run, which he did. DailyMail.com reached out to the NYPD for comment.
It comes after sources close to the financier came forward with his side of the story in the wake of the controversy last month, claiming the fracas had unfolded after a group of four female 'Queers for Palestine' supporters allegedly started taunting the Jewish financier and throwing liquids at him as he left a nearby restaurant that night.
Unseen footage obtained by DailyMail.com shed new light on the events leading up to scuffle, showing the moment the two parties cross paths on the street in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, before getting into a heated physical confrontation.

Viral video had shown Kaye 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
The CCTV images, captured by a nearby restaurant, show Kaye emerging from the right side of the sidewalk, where the group of revelers appear to be hanging out on the corner.
The two parties appear to exchange words as Kaye walks by, but he continues walking, before glancing back at the group after they allegedly begin hurling slurs and insults.
As he continues up the sidewalk, he crosses paths with someone who appears to be returning to the same group of friends in the corner, and they exchange words as well.
It is unknown exactly what was said, but it was apparently provocative enough to cause Kaye to stop and turn around and approach the group.
The confrontation quickly turns chaotic and physical, with Kaye seen being surrounded and then shoved into the street, off screen, catching the attention of nearby onlookers.
After the altercation unfolds off camera, he reappears in frame seconds later and continues on his way down the sidewalk.

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. Pictured: Kaye's injuries
Last month sources told DailyMail.com that Kaye, who is Jewish, had told the group they were 'on the wrong side', prompting the women to gang up on him
Now, DailyMail.com understands Kaye had turned around and went back to confront the group after hearing the anti-Semitic slurs directed towards him.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Kaye's legal representative Danya Perry, Perry Law said: 'Mr. Kaye, a middle-aged Jewish man with no history of violence or aggression, was terrorized, assaulted, and surrounded by a group of unruly anti-Semitic protesters.
'What the previously released video clip does not show is what another video and other evidence we have shared with the DA does show: that these agitators formed a ring at him, doused him with two unknown liquids, shoved him to the ground, and hurled anti-Semitic slurs at him.
'Terrified and injured, Mr. Kaye managed to act in self-defense to escape the situation and return safely to his family. We are hopeful that the District Attorney will fully and fairly consider these facts, along with the surge of anti-Semitic acts, protests, and attacks that are ravaging our city. We will aggressively fight injustice, and we look forward to a full vindication for our client.'
