    Police said a suspect has been arrested and charged with a hate crime for assaulting a man on a Brooklyn street early Friday in an attack that may have been part of a so-called "knockout game."

    The 24-year-old victim, who is white and Jewish, said he overheard the people who attacked him talking about the knockout game before they punched him in the face on 18th Avenue in Boro Park.

    Marajh Amrit, 28, has been charged with two counts of a hate crime and third-degree assault, police said.

    Four men were held in connected with the assault, but police said three had been let go. Police had earlier said the group of men who attacked the victim were celebrating a birthday and were inebriated.

    A number of assaults in Brooklyn, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., have drawn attention in recent weeks that authorities say may be inspired by the violent game. The object is to target unsuspecting pedestrians with the intention of knocking them out with one punch.

    I guess the AP forgot and left out Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and points West where this is also happening along with the flash mob robberies. But hey, the Progressive Left doesn't want us to be worried about this. It hasn't happened to them so why worry.
