Watch: TikTokkers Reveal Shocking Head Punch Attacks in NYC Streets

Multiple female social media influencers have reported being assaulted while walking the streets of New York City, with assailants suddenly coming out of nowhere and quickly punching the victims.

A spate of incidents have been documented on TikTok, illustrating a disturbing pattern of unwarranted attacks targeting innocent, vulnerable women.

In separate videos, four women say they were minding their own business walking in the Big Apple when the unexpected attacks occurred.

Influencer Jill Burke first described being assaulted in a video posted on Feb. 8th, showing off a black eye in her video she says was caused by a man who bashed her with a bag full of heavy objects.

“I literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk. He goes, ‘Sorry,’ and then punches me — in the head,” one woman described, adding, “Holy fuck, what the hell just happened? Oh my God.”

Here’s a compilation of all four videos on X:

The New York Post reports the NYPD is aware of, and actively investigating, the incidents:

“The NYPD confirmed the narratives of Kate and Brand, saying that a 23-year-old woman reported an assault at West 16th Street and 7th Avenue at 10:20 a.m. Monday, as with Kate’s report. She was treated at a medical facility for injuries to the left side of her face, cops said.”

On March 17, a 25-year-old was walking her dog just before noon at Kenmare and Mulberry streets when an “unknown individual punched her in the head,” according to officials when asked about Brand’s video.

It was unclear if the incidents were connected, police said.

The incidents are being compared to the senseless, unprovoked attacks targeting random people known as the “knockout game,” which began rising in popularity in big cities in 2012.
