Zarzuela approached a 9-year-old girl from the Bronx, who was standing with her mother in the Grand Central Terminal dining concourse, at 11:49 a.m. and allegedly punched her in the face without warning.

Police said that the girl suffered from pain and dizziness. Nearby MTAPD officers rendered aid to the child, who was transported to NYU Langone - Tisch Hospital for treatment.

The MTAPD released a description of Zarzuela, who they said was known to the department, about three hours before his arrest.
