A man released without bail after allegedly fracturing another man’s skull in New York City has been taken back into custody, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Friday.
Van Phu Bui, a 55-year-old convicted sex offender, was first arrested on Wednesday in connection with the unprovoked attack outside a Fordham Heights restaurant in the Bronx before 11 p.m. on Aug. 12. He was re-arrested on a parole violation on Friday.
Surveillance video shows a man approaching 52-year-old Jesus Cortes from behind and sucker punching him in the head. He says something to onlookers before apparently leaving the scene.
Cortes, a Mexican immigrant, suffered a fractured skull, a broken cheekbone and brain bleeding. He was knocked unconscious and eventually placed in a medically induced coma.
Bui was released without bail on Thursday after Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark downgraded his initial attempted murder charge to misdemeanor assault and harassment. The move quickly triggered a public outcry as Bui’s criminal history began to unravel.
Bui, a Vietnamese immigrant, turned out to be on lifetime parole for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in 1994. He is a registered Level 3 sex offender, the highest classification on the registry.

He fractures a guy’s skull from behind, and they call it misdemeanor harassment?
Van Phu Bui should have taken advantage of his original release to head for JFK and board the first plane for Hanoi.
They should execute this waste of skin. If allowed to live his misbegotten life in prison it should be at hard labor. Make him earn his oxygen.
Hochul could see the political damage this incident has inflicted. She should be asked if she would have ordered the arrest if no one cared the guy was released and the charge was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
That's all you need to know. Dollars to donuts attack was not unprovoked. Border jumpers have really outsized nasty attitudes.
Of course the media will make a saint out of him.
“They should execute this waste of skin”
Not in new york state.
Why is this human excrement released from prison in the first place and what kind of idiot releases him without bail when a man in in a coma?
Watch the spin as the R gov of Texas is blamed for busing the victim to NYC — whether he did or not.

The guy’s been on Lifetime parole ever since 1994 sex offence in the Bronx.
Where in world do you get bused to NY from TX from?
The link you provided doesn’t even mention busing from TX.
Its election season for Kathy Hochul
She will get hammered on law-and-order by either Zeldin or Paladino
New york must be a positively horrible place to live.
Judging by the net people outflows, I think the data supports you.
In my neck of the woods, the older legal immigrants (many of them business or farm owners) have had it right up to the eyeballs with the younger tatted up illegal gangsters giving everyone grief. They want the borders closed and the little shits deported by air, no parachutes.
I’m not sure why I need to point out the obvious — the SPIN (as in MEDIA SPIN) will be that the poor Mexican victim was sent to NYC RECENTLY by the governor of Texas.
well they are going to have to do it themselves.
I think there might be a use for all that illegal fentanyl. LOL
And release him with an apology./S
