More "knockout game" in the news - 6 “Knockout”-Style Attacks Hit The City [View all]
I guess these attacks are getting rarer and uncommon as believed by some here.
Medical researcher Lawrence Hsieh, schooled in Taekwondo, didnt have time to defend himself when a kid KOed him on Church Street in one of six assaults in two days that appear to mimic a violent game hitting the East Coast.
Walking on the overpass between North and South Frontage at 5:30 p.m., Hsieh (pictured above) encountered a group of three young men. Without warning, one approached him and sucker-punched him in the nose, knocking Hsieh to the ground. The assailant and his buddies took off down the street, laughing.
The whole ordeal was over in 30 seconds, said Hsieh, who may have broken his nose as a result.
Hseihs attacker was following the script of the so-called Knockout Game, which consists of punching random strangers. To become a Knockout King, the player must bring his target to the ground with one jab.
The game has been reported in recent days in several East Coast cities, including New York, New Jersey, and Washington D. C. Incidents date back to 2011.
Five other similar attacks took place near Hsiehs in the early evening hours on Monday and Tuesday. All were near the train station, the Church Street South housing project, and Church Street, according to top Hill South cop Lt. Joe Witkowski.
The common thing seems to be theres no attempt at theft. Its an unprovoked assault, Witkowski said.

There'll be no tears or remorse from me when these sub-human pieces of shit ends up in the morgue.
