Via NY Post:
A suspect with a history of violence against strangers has been arrested for the random October assault on actor Rick Moranis near his Upper West Side apartment, The Post has learned.
A sergeant assigned to Transit spotted Marquis Ventura, 35, at 96th Street and Broadway on Saturday and made the arrest; investigators were transporting the West Village man to Central Booking Saturday night, law enforcement sources said.
Ventura has a history of more than a dozen arrests, including five for felonies, the sources said.
His most recent arrest — for allegedly randomly pummeling a straphanger in the West 4th Street subway station — had been just two weeks after the attack on Moranis.
