A man is facing charges for assaulting his girlfriend and then ordering her to walk through Harlem in only a towel as he videotaped her, according to police.
Police arrested Jason Melo, 24, Wednesday. His 22-year-old girlfriend said he threatened to kill her if she didn't go out in the towel.
In the video, which was posted online, someone is seen taking off her towel.
Her 3-month-old daughter was also present during the assault, according to police.
"We are steadfast in our efforts to make sure all victims of abuse are aware of the many resources available as we strive to make New York City's public and private spaces safe for all women and girls," the city's first lady Chirlane McCray said in a statement.
