A millionaire banker was filmed punching a woman at a Brooklyn Pride event as he quit his job

The millionaire investment banker who punched a woman in the face in Brooklyn earlier this month has resigned from his job, the company said Monday.

Jonathan Kay, head of the global business services franchise at Manhattan-based Moelis & Co., was caught punching an anti-Israel protester in Park Slope on June 8 in the video, which quickly went viral.

He was placed on leave by the boutique company shortly after the accident.

The 38-year-old woman told police the assault left her with a broken nose, lacerations and a black eye.

A representative for Moelis confirmed on Monday that Kay had resigned from his high-paying job, without commenting further.

Kay, who lives in a Park Slope brownstone worth more than $3.7 million, declined to comment when contacted by The Post.

Kay, who is Jewish, and the unidentified woman reportedly got into a verbal altercation over the war between Israel and Hamas.

A source close to Kaye told the newspaper on Monday that he was out getting ice cream for his children when he turned the corner and encountered a group of demonstrators who were participating in a “Queers for Palestine” protest.

The source said Kay was surrounded by six people who were shouting at him and then a red and white liquid was poured on him.

A spokesman for Kaye told The Washington Post that he was “in fear for his physical safety when he was surrounded by an angry mob of agitators who surrounded him, physically assaulted him, and threw unknown liquids at him.”

“He was unable to identify any of these individuals and was left bloodied from the attack,” the spokesperson said, adding that “given the sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents, any Jewish person in this situation would naturally feel threatened and feel the need to defend themselves.” . They will return safely to their families.”

A spokesperson for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office told The Post on Monday that the criminal investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Since the video went viral, Kay has been subjected to death threats and a “campaign of personal destruction” that has been “hurting and devastating,” the actor said.

“Mr. Kai will fully cooperate with the authorities to resolve this matter and clear his name.”

He had previously claimed that the woman threw a liquid at him before he was filmed punching her.

In the video, a confused Kai is seen walking away from the woman with his jacket stained with liquid.

“She f**king threw me all over the place,” Kai could be heard saying as onlookers screamed that he was an “ahole” and a “terrible person.”

Last year, Kay gave an interview to a podcast, during which he preached about mentoring junior bankers while offering his opinion on the keys to success.

“You have to learn the hard skills as quickly as you can, but in the end, it’s really the skills of grit and resilience, learning how to listen, understanding what motivates others, empathy — those are the indispensable skills that set you apart from the calculator,” he told ” LSE Focal Point Podcast”.

Elsewhere in the wide-ranging interview, Kay spoke about his “rough” start in the industry and how “Wall Street can be an unforgiving place.”

Kay urged potential employees to commit to “doing what you say you’re going to do, being consistent, managing your reputation carefully, managing difficult people carefully, and staying away from toxic people.”

“I learned some basic concepts that might seem obvious, but when you’re in your 20s, you have to learn them all from scratch,” he said.

Prior to his role at Moelis, Kay was Managing Director of Global Mergers and Acquisitions at Citibank.
