TIMES SQUARE, NY — A topless painted woman is in trouble with the law after punching an elderly man in the face on Saturday, according to police.
Tarrah Merill, 18, was arrested in front of 1535 Broadway in Times Square on Saturday at 5:45 p.m., police said. She was charged with felony assault due to the age of the victim, police said.

According to the Daily News, two women were involved in an incident, with one angry at the man for snapping a photo of her without paying. A police spokesperson said the criminal complaint only involved one woman, however.
