HPD first tweeted the video Monday, just hours after the attack. It showed the front door area of a home in the 4800 block of Robertson Street, near Irvington Boulevard.
A Black man appears to be interacting with the woman before he moves beside her and suddenly wraps his arms around her neck in a chokehold.

The man is then seen pulling the woman into a doorway and out of view. Police also release a portion of the video showing the same man leave out of a front gate.
HPD said the suspect burglarized the home at about 11:45 a.m. By 4:18 p.m., HPD made the video public and an arrest was made the next day. Police have not released a mugshot.
As of late Tuesday, the woman remains hospitalized after she was taken for treatment.
