Glenmore Nembhard, 40, was charged with second-degree assault, with intent to cause physical injury to a person who is 65 years of age or older, a felony, NBC reports.

They create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation that keeps us from feeling safe and secure in our homes and communities," Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah stated.
