'Knockout Game' victim and family speak out

NEW YORK (WABC) -- For the first time, the man who was knocked to the ground as he walked on a Brooklyn street is speaking out.

He and his family are talking about the disturbing and growing trend of sucker-punching that some call "The Knockout Game".

Lauro Ponce is not the same and he may never be the same.

He was walking to his home in Bushwick, and just as a young couple was about to pass him on the street he was struck with a single brutal punch to the face.

Didn't happen, I guess.

Or if it did, we're to blame--all of society.
