Police warn citizens and workers in Modtown Atlanta of a man they say is committing the cirme of randomly walking up to people and punching them in the face.
Detectives have nicknamed the culprit the ,”Midtown Puncher” for his proclivity to just haul off and punch strangers with his fist in a half-dozen attacks. The latest happened in the north central part of the city, says Midtown Blue Public Safety Director Chris Leighty.
Witness John Martínez tells FOX 5’s Aungelique Proctor, he was walking on Crescent Avenue on January 5th with a co-worker when a man walking in the opposite direction punched his colleague just for the heck of it.
“There was absolutely no warning. I just heard a loud pop and he hit the ground. It was hard and fast, ” Martinez said.
The victim, Peter Lacey-Bordeaux was taken to Grady Hospital for blurred vision and observation.
