random assault wherein the perpetrator attempts to knock an unsuspecting passer-by unconscious by a single punch From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knockout, also known as the knockout game and knockout king, is a violent activity played by teenagers. The object of the game is to render unconscious (knockout) an innocent pedestrian with one punch.[1] The game can result in serious injuries or death for its victims. Players face criminal charges.
In 1992, a teen stabbed an MIT student through the heart, killing him.[2] In another case, a St. Louis, Missouri teenager allegedly attacked a pedestrian who hit his head on the ground and died in hospital.[3] In May 2013, a 51 year-old man died from his injuries after he was attacked in Syracuse, New York, by two teenagers.[4]
