26-year-old man from Manhattan was arrested in the June 4 electric scooter hit-and-run incident that killed Cocktail actress Lisa Banes, the NYPD reported on Friday.
Brian Boyd, who lives near the Upper West Side corner of Manhattan around Lincoln Center where Banes, 65, was hit by the scooter, has been charged with leaving the scene in a crash resulting in death and not yielding to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Banes, whose credits also included the film Missing girl, TV shows royal pains and A life to live, as well as many Broadway productions, was walking near Lincoln Center’s Julliard School, her alma mater, when she was struck in the crosswalk by the scooter. She died 10 days later from a head trauma.
According to police, Boyd was arrested after patrol officers recognized him on a wanted poster.
Banes, visiting New York City from Los Angeles for a role in the Manhattan Theater Club’s streaming production of The Niceties, was on his way to meet his wife, journalist Kathryn Kranhold, for dinner near Julliard. Police said she was hit after the scooter passed a red light.
