[Updated] Was this a 'knockout' attack on the Bowery?
Police are looking for this suspect who sucker punched a 23-year-old man from Rockville Station on the Bowery near Stanton Street early this morning.
The victim was knocked unconscious and taken to Bellevue Hospital with a broken jaw.
There's some speculation that this was part of a Knockout Game attack.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
Updated 12:38 p.m.
The Daily News has a few more details on the attack (including photos of the victim) ... the victim had been at Sweet & Vicious on Spring Street and was walking to another bar around 2:30 a.m. when the punch occurred ... The Daily News described the punch as "a hellacious haymaker."

This happened to my boyfriend on the upper east side around 1988. And remember wilding? Not new, just a different name.
I was attacked near the same area! Almost the same exact thing happened to me a block away. I had left Cel R Rose and headed north on bowery on a sunday night, when bam!
Looks like the attacker had something in his hand when he punched the victim. Something to do more damage...Yuck.
Wow, some people can be so cruel.
Anonymous 9:58pm - I hope you're okay.
I like that a major corporation is sponsoring this incident.
Cold out, dude has no coat on who punches guy? Looks like a robbery of something personal. Knockout game is usually done in a group to get props, so I don't think it was that. That is near the homeless shelter.
One more reason to get off you phone and pay attention to who and what is around you.
