Atlantic City police first learned about the video Oct. 17, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office. It showed a man walking up to a woman, striking her, appearing to knock her out cold.

According to the prosecutor's office, the woman was hospitalized in critical condition after the incident.

Police detectives reviewed the video, identified the location as Brown’s Park at Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Baltic Avenues, and identified the victim after additional investigation as Emily Baccari, 44, of Atlantic City, the prosecutor's office said.

aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for “striking the victim in
the side of the face with a handgun hidden underneath the sleeve of his sweatshirt,”
conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a handgun, and
possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, the prosecutor's office said.

Hunter was located and arrested the next day by Atlantic City police in the vicinity of
Kentucky and Arctic Avenues, and lodged in the Atlantic County Justice Facility in lieu of
$100,000 full cash bail, it said.
