Jonathan Kaye, the former Moelis banker facing charges of assault after a video emerged of him punching a woman, was heckled by protesters outside a New York courthouse and faced anti-Ssemitic slurs, his lawyers have claimed.

Kaye, who stepped down from the boutique bank after a viral video posted on social media appeared to show him punching a woman during a New York Pride event, was “physically assaulted” by a number of protesters outside the court, according to a statement from his lawyer E Danya Perry of Perry Law.
