A Brooklyn woman with a history of violent assaults was arraigned Sunday on charges of attempted kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly trying to abduct a 4-year-old boy in Crown Heights last week. Chrissy Payne, 47, faces multiple criminal cases dating back to April, authorities said.

According to law enforcement sources and court documents, Payne has been involved in a series of violent incidents since spring. On April 14, she reportedly grabbed a 66-year-old woman by the hair and threw her to the ground at a bus stop on Utica Avenue. Less than three weeks later, on May 3, Payne allegedly assaulted a 78-year-old woman on an MTA bus.

The subsequent incidents involved alleged hate crimes. In mid-July, she purportedly struck a 35-year-old stranger, and on August 19, she reportedly punched another woman on a bus while making a racially charged remark, saying, “I don’t want to sit next to no white B-word,” according to court records.

Payne has been hospitalized for psychiatric evaluations on at least two occasions in the past, sources indicated. Despite her prior charges, she was released each time, a point some critics attribute to local bail reform laws.

The latest incident occurred on September 14 outside a fast-food restaurant in Crown Heights. Payne allegedly attempted to abduct the boy, who is the son of an NYPD officer. Prosecutors said Payne told the child, “Come with Mama, that’s my son,” before grabbing the boy’s arm and pulling it. The child’s mother intervened before the abduction could take place.

Assistant District Attorney Che Aroyewun presented the charges during Payne’s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court. The cases against Payne remain active, with authorities continuing their investigation.
