It appears a bunch of women (at least seven so far on TikTok alone) have been punched in the face, seemingly at random and by the same guy, in the streets of NYC over the last few days. They include NYC influencer Halley Kate, who filmed this TikTok fresh after being walloped on the side of the head, where you can see she has a pretty nasty-looking hematoma developing:

Insane. I hope she rang the police before she filmed her TikTok, but you can never be too sure these days. Here a few more of the victims telling similar stories:

Awful. What kind of scumbag does something like this? It’s bad enough if it was some one-off freak incident by an out of control crackhead in NYC, but it appears to be one guy going around over the course of multiple days, just randomly punching lone women in the face for no reason. Literally a serial one-punch man on the loose going around targeting women in New York City.
Unfortunately, none of these young ladies seem particularly keen on giving a detailed description of the suspect, at least not on video anyway. I’m sure they’ve been much more specific when talking to the police so that they might actually stand a chance in hell of catching this guy and ensuring no more women get punched in the face. Fair play to these girls for at least raising awareness about it. If you’re a young woman in NYC, try not to walk around the streets alone if you can help it, and keep your head on a swivel either way.
