Police in New York City have released surveillance video showing a man randomly sucker-punching a woman crossing the street in Brooklyn earlier this month.

According to the NYPD, the violent and unprovoked attack took place at 12.10pm noon on March 9 in the area of Nostrand Avenue and Crown Street.

The video shows the victim, identified only as a 27-year-old woman, crossing the street while talking on her cellphone.

As she reaches the sidewalk, a man slowly walks up to the pedestrian in total silence and takes a wild swing at her.

The woman collapses to the ground on impact, after which her attacker casts a glance at her and calmly walks away with his hands in his pockets.

The woman, who has not been named, drove herself to a local hospital to be treated for a head injury.

He has a thing against people talking on their phone?

I think it was because she was jaywalking.

She clearly wasn’t in the crosswalk.
