A disturbing series of assaults in Williamsburg has sparked outrage after a man accused of spitting on at least 16 women was released just a day after his arrest. Anthony Caines, 45, was taken into custody on November 13 for what prosecutors describe as racially-motivated attacks targeting white women. Court documents state he allegedly carried out a two-day spree on November 11 and 12, silently approaching women on the street and spitting directly into their faces. Four victims are named in the initial complaint, though police sources confirm the number of targeted women is far higher. Caines, who has prior arrests for domestic violence and contempt of court, pleaded not guilty and was granted supervised release on November 14. One victim, a college student, described feeling “violated” and “shocked” by the random assault.
