A teenager sucker-punched a woman on a Brooklyn street after the girl was asked to wear a face mask, police said.
Video released Friday by the NYPD, shows a 39-year-old woman walking on Fulton Street in Ocean Hill on Oct. 28 at about 11 a.m. when the teen lunges at her and punches her in the face.
The stunned woman appears to be turning toward her attacker just as she’s clocked. She then doubles over as the girl looks on before turning and walking away, the video shows.
