CAMBRIDGE (CBS) — Police are looking for a man who was apparently throwing sucker punches at random victims on a Cambridge sidewalk where one of the assaults was captured on video.

A witness says a man and woman were leaving a store on Massachusetts Avenue near Dana Street when an assailant approached from behind and punched the man in the head Saturday afternoon.

The man was staggered by the punch and both he and the woman fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries.

Cambridge Police said the suspect punched another man in the face earlier in the day.

Those pesky Amish again?

I'm all for lighting these clowns up and airing them out.

With dignity and respect, of course. ;-)

There’s a name for this, but I’m told it’s a mythical event.

The details are included in another article by CBS Boston:

"The assailant is a black man in his 20’s wearing a black coat, dark knit cap, and blue jeans with a black sling-style backpack. His motive remains a mystery."

“There’s nothing I could have done differently, really,” said the first victim. “There was no time to react.”

“To me he just seemed mentally disturbed,” she says. “He seemed under the influence he was listening to music really loud and he was just walking around yelling.”

Kudos to CBS Boston in the second article:

The assailant is a black man in his 20’s wearing a black coat, dark knit cap, and blue jeans with a black sling-style backpack. His motive remains a mystery.

I AGREE HIS INTERVIEW WAS MOST FORGIVING AS WAS HIS FEMALE COMPANION’S

Draw your own conclusions. Inset is from a few seconds prior and at 90 deg to the camera position. Victim is ahead. I mistakenly covered it with the inset but his fist is clenched and locked for a punch.

Here's one for 'contrast'; inset of the victim & his gal in the frame of the prior inset.

Then it’s obvious. We have a aspiring hip-hop rap music star. Please excuse me....
