Man sucker punches 5-year-old in face on New York City subway: cops
Fox News ^ | 3/26/18 | Katherine Lam

Police are hunting for a man who approached a 5-year-old boy riding the New York City subway and punched him in the face as the child’s mother was standing next to him.

The man, identified as Ramon Thomas, 25, was on the G train just before 4:30 p.m. Saturday when he attacked the boy who was standing next to his mother, police said. The train was approaching the Bergen Street station in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill neighborhood.

The man then taunted the child before fleeing the train when the doors opened at the station.

It’s unclear what provoked the attack. Police sources told the New York Daily News the attacker yelled at the boy, “Are you going to cry to ya’ mommy?”

This is no man; this is a monster. So what will be the justification for this? He's a victim of his environment? Shove it.

No word from the cops, which probably means, yes.

He kept singing this awful song out loud! I had no choice.

Seriously, I swear I was in Staten Island the whole time

Perhaps the assailant is just a misunderstood rising rap star who was turning his life around.

Back when my father was a policeman within 40 mi of NYC, I'm told they would take care of perps like this in their own ways. This guy would get a massive beating from someone much larger than himself, and more often than not, the lesson is learned. Everyone moves on.

It was a source of pride that they would go after the worst of the worst, and would let the light offenses slide, or even help out (letting a drunk sleep it off in a cell, without getting charged, etc). Those days are long gone. Now the cops prefer to go after the little fish, and not bother with the ones who actually make our neighborhoods unpleasant.

So now the “Knock-Out” game players are targeting 5 year-olds?

This punk needs a serious can of whoop-@ss opened on him.

Re: “It’s unclear what provoked the attack.“

I’m sorry - there is no legitimate provocation for an adult to sucker punch a 5 year old child. This guy, I hope, has mental issues. Either way he needs to be put away.

He is either mentally ill or demonically possessed.

Thomas was described as being 6 feet tall, 180 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Am I missing something?

A grown man punching a 5year old can EASILY kill (or worse) them. I’d be clearing leather and sending lead downrange if he stuck around because I wouldn’t give him a 2nd chance to kill a child.

Of course, let’s say the cops saw this and ended up shooting him to prevent further attacks. There would be marches against the cops for shooting another “unarmed man”. This scumbag would also be eulogized for being a “kind soul” who was “turning his life around”.
