Possible 'Knockout Game' in Northwest Jacksonville food mart

Category: Knockout Game

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.
