An unprovoked attack in Northwest Jacksonville left police unsure if it was another incident of the Knockout Game, according to the Sheriffs Office.

A Knockout Game is where a person attacks an unsuspecting victim in an attempt to render them unconscious with one punch.

Police released video of the Monday attack about 9:30 p.m. that shows a man walk up to a woman and start punching her in the head outside a Quickway Food Mart at 770 N. McDuff Ave.

The 39-year-old victim told police a different man had asked her for money but she said no. She went into the store and was ambushed by the other man as she left. She said she didnt know her attacker and did nothing to provoke him.

He then casually walked away with the other man.

In a separate incident Friday, a 16-year-old was arrested in an apparent Knockout Game that occurred in February at a Merrill Road Hess station. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound teenager attacked a 48-year-old disabled man, according to police.

March 27, 2014 (CHICAGO) -- A sound engineer was riding his bike home in Humboldt Park early Saturday when he noticed two guys emerging from an alley, both crouching low.

"That's when I knew they were coming for me," said the 30-year-old man, who asked not to be named when speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times.

"Next thing I noticed, one of them had a machete," said the man, who was biking in the 2500 block of West Potomac, just west of Western, about 3 a.m. Saturday. "I tried to speed past them, but one of them swung the machete at my back wheel."

His bike came to a stop.

"And then the same guy punched me in the face."

An accomplice stood by and laughed while recording the attack on his camera phone.

"That's when I thought, 'Oh, well this guy's giggling, this is a joke to them. At least I'm not going to get murdered,' " said the man, who stood over his bike during the assault which lasted a little over a minute.

"Then the guy hit my back tire with the machete three or four more times and told me to 'Get the f - - - out of here.' . . . I sped away."

The men looked to be about 20 years old, the man said.

A Hasidic Jew visiting from London claiming he was attacked by unknown assailants in Brooklyn set off a hate crime investigation by the NYPD. Now, the gentleman has rescinded his claims and said the he simply fell down and was not a knockout game victim.

The 65-year-old man was in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn Tuesday when he told NYPD officials he was attacked from behind around 2:30 a.m. As expected, the police launched an investigation and marked the incident as a hate crime.

This morning, as reported by Gothamist, the man changed his story and said that he fell and injured himself instead of being attacked by a pack of brutes. City Council Member David Greenfield didn't help matters by egging on the story without all the facts, saying that the brutal attack was part of a growing knockout game trend in Brooklyn.

The gentleman has since returned to London, and police have not revealed any further details in the case.
