Investment banker suspended from job after punching pro-Palestinian protestor in New York

Pictures reveal Kaye had blood pooled around his ankle after he was shoved to the floor.

As Kaye abruptly left the scene others looking on are heard calling him an “a**hole” and telling him to “go f*** himself”.

Moelis has now placed the senior banker on leave as it was investigating the incident, a spokesperson said: “We are aware that one of our employees was involved in a serious incident in Brooklyn on June 8. We take this matter very seriously and this employee is on leave as we continue to conduct our investigation.”

Kaye lives with his wife and kids in a $4million four-bedroom townhouse in upscale Park Slope and reportedly owns multiple properties on the street, which he rents out to neighbours.

One said she was "shocked” when she saw the footage, adding that the father-of-three always seemed “normal”, although she normally spoke with his wife.

Since the incident, Kaye had barricaded himself in his home Monday morning and neighbours have reportedly also yelled at Kaye's children as they entered the front door.
