Its rather unfortunate that sometimes when the prosecutors and courts won't take effective action to hold serial wrongdoers accountable, then street justice takes over:
"Caines, curled up on the sidewalk in a defensive fetal position, is dealt multiple blows by the two attackers, whose faces are never shown.
The two men laugh to themselves as they kick Caines and stomp on his legs.
Caines is heard wailing in pain during the beatdown.
The clip quickly cuts to an image of Caines with a large gash on his forehead, above his left eye. Blood streams down his face as the men issue a final warning.
“Stop violating these females out here, you heard?” the man filming the footage tells him.
“We’re tired of that s–t,” the man explains. “You’re making us look bad.”
Caines appeared to confirm he understood, before saying, “I went to jail, didn’t I?”
“F–k jail — we’re worse than jail,” the man yells before delivering one last punch to his head.
Caines was arrested on Nov. 13 for his serial spitting spree."

I don't think the cops will be looking too hard for his attackers.
