NYC Subway Station Attack Woman Flattened By Lunatic's Sucker Punch ... Caught On Video
Cops are searching for a dangerous assailant who knocked the crap out of a woman in an NYC subway station ... and the unprovoked attack was all caught on video.
Check out the SCARY footage ... it starts rather calmly with the woman peering down at her cell phone as she's walking along the platform at Clinton-Washington Avenues Station in Brooklyn last Sunday.
The suspect then appears, heading toward her in the opposite direction ... as the two pass each other on the platform, the guy hauls off and socks the woman in the face, knocking her down.
Dazed and confused, the woman covers her injured face with her hands as a good Samaritan rushes to her aid from a subway idling in the station.
The woman later posted video of the assault to TikTok, showing her black eye and blaming herself for not paying attention by staring at her phone.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator dashed out of the station and is currently being sought by NYPD detectives.
Let's hope they find this lunatic.

Afroman's learning a little ganja goes a long way in preventing you from crossing the Canadian border, where he got cited while trying to get back to the U.S. ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the Palmdale rapper and his crew were detained Tuesday by U.S. Border Patrol officers while they were attempting to get back on American soil at a port of entry crossing over the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York.
We're told they arrived at an inspection zone, where the feds found a ton of cash and some marijuana in their vehicle -- the bills totaled $10,000, but the bud was an insignificant personal amount.
Afroman tells TMZ ... he was on his way to a gig in NY when he was stopped at the border. He had given all his weed to his fans and housekeepers at his hotel but forgot about a bottle of cannabis pain lotion.
He says he was held for 5 hours at the border and fined $500 for the lotion -- and his DJ was also fined $500 for a small amount of cannabis gummies.
Law enforcement sources tell us the $10K was declared, and the weed was seized ... but nobody was arrested because it was such a small amount.
We reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for comment. Spokesperson Mike Niezgoda would only say ... "As a matter of policy under the Privacy Act of 1974, we are unable to discuss a traveler's inspection."

Tyreek Hill Slapped Man On Neck During Boat Altercation ... Cops Say
Police are finally revealing more about their criminal investigation into Tyreek Hill ... saying in an incident report, obtained by TMZ Sports, that they launched their probe into the NFL star after he was accused of slapping a man during an altercation on a boat.
According to the Miami-Dade Police Department docs, the incident happened at around 6:45 PM on June 18 in a Miami marina ... after Hill and some of his apparent acquaintances had boarded a fishing charter vessel without the owner's permission.
Cops say when employees of the ship found Hill's group -- they tried to kick them off ... but a verbal argument broke out instead.
During the tiff, it's alleged Hill reached out and slapped one of the employees "on the back of the neck with an open hand" as members of the 29-year-old's group tried to usher him away from the area.
Cops say Hill then "charged towards" the employee -- but he was "restrained by several people within his group."
The Dolphins receiver then left the area, cops say.
According to the docs, Hill and his group had inquired about renting the boat earlier in the day prior to the confrontation with employees -- but did not go through with the purchase "due to the high" cost.
So far, no arrests have been made ... and no charges have been filed.
Neither Hill nor his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have yet to publicly comment on the allegations.
For the Dolphins' part, they said in a statement Tuesday they were "aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL. We will reserve further comment at this time."

Cops confirmed the probe to us on Tuesday ... though they did not disclose further details of the case, only saying they were investigating an alleged assault/battery involving the Dolphins player.

The outlet reported Tuesday the 29-year-old receiver was accused of putting his hands on the employee at some point during the altercation.

Hill has become arguably the best wideout in the NFL ... last season -- his first with Miami -- he tallied 1,710 receiving yards and seven receiving TDs.

Tom Petty Fam Files Police Report ... OVER 'Stolen' AUCTION ITEMS

Exclusive

8:33 PM PT -- Mark S. Zaid, the attorney for RR, tells us, "We have been attempting to work with the Petty family for weeks to verify the lawful title of the late Tom Petty's items. As a reputable auction house for half-a-century, we obviously can't simply accept blanket statements of theft without presentation of even the slightest proof. We have asked numerous questions of the Petty family and received few answers. Despite our ongoing investigative efforts, the Petty family has gone radio silent since May 30th. It seems every new detail - such as the claim a police report has been filed - we unprofessionally learn of through the media. Although we have not heard from the police, we welcome cooperation from law enforcement authorities. RR Auction takes these matters incredibly seriously, which is why we withdrew the consigned items from auction until proper ownership can be determined."
Tom Petty's family has cops taking a closer look at his wardrobe, at least the items that ended up on an auction block ... and we've learned it's a grand theft investigation.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the late singer's family members filed the report last week after discovering Tom's belongings were up for auction. They're pissed because, according to them, the items were last seen getting loaded into an L.A. storage unit.
We're told LAPD took a grand theft report and will now investigate the matter.
TMZ broke the story ... Tom's jackets, shoes, hats and clothes showed up in an RR Auction lot last month ... but then the family called foul, claiming Tom's gear was actually stolen.
The auction house says Tom's stuff was consigned by a third party to be auctioned starting June 22 ... and they say the gear is from Tom's former home in Encino, CA.
After Tom's family raised concerns, RR Auction pulled the items and told us they were "aggressively investigating the situation."
We reached out to the auction house regarding the new police report ... so far no word back.
As the man himself once sang, the waiting is the hardest part!

WVU Basketball Coach Bob Huggins Arrested for DUI ... Resigns
7:45 PM PT -- Bob Huggins is no longer the head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball team following his DUI arrest.
The longtime coach announced his resignation and retirement from the position Saturday evening ... saying he will spend time focusing on his health and his family.
"My recent actions do not represent the values of the University or the leadership expected in this role," Huggins said. "While I have always tried to represent our University with honor, I have let all of you -- and myself -- down."
"I am solely responsible for my conduct and sincerely apologize to the University community -- particularly to the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program."
Huggins added it was an honor to coach at his alma mater, and he is proud of all the athletes he coached during his time in Morgantown.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported our program over the years. It has meant more to me and my family than you could ever know."
Bob Huggins was arrested for DUI in Pennsylvania -- and his bosses at West Virginia University are already well aware of it.
The WVU men's basketball HC was busted Friday night in Pittsburgh after cops observed a vehicle in the middle of a road with a flat tire -- which turned into a suspicious scene for Pittsburgh PD after they say they saw Huggins struggling mightily to get his car to the side of the road.
Suspecting he might be intoxicated, the officers initiated field sobriety tests ... which they say BH failed. At that point, they threw on the cuffs and hauled him to jail on suspicion of DUI.
WVU addressed his arrest, saying ... "West Virginia University is aware of an incident last night involving Head Men’s Basketball Coach Bob Huggins, for which he was charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in the City of Pittsburgh."
They add, "We are gathering more information and will take appropriate action once the review is complete." BTW, reports say the SUV he was driving was a lease ... courtesy of West Virginia University.
Huggins got into some heat earlier this year for saying an anti-gay slur on the radio, and it hurt him professionally. Time will tell how this ends up affecting things on the job.

Boosie Badazz Feds Rely on IG Live Clip for Gun Arrest

Boosie Badazz went full out of the frying pan and into the fire over his gun case in San Diego, because while local prosecutors dropped charges ... they really just made way for the feds to go after him.
TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... federal agents nabbed Boosie Wednesday outside the San Diego courthouse where he thought he'd just gotten great news about the gun case. According to new docs we've obtained, ATF hauled him for possession of a weapon by a felon -- essentially, the same charge San Diego dropped.
In the federal docs, they say Boosie was seen on an Instagram live feed, back on May 6, with a gun tucked into the the waistband of his red jeans. The feds say San Diego PD was watching that IG feed and mobilized officers to pull over a vehicle that had Boosie riding in the back seat.
According to the feds, right before the Mercedes SUV pulled over, the SD officer noticed movement in the back seat they believe looked like someone "attempting to conceal firearms or illegal contraband" ... in their experience.
Once the vehicle was pulled over, Boosie told the officer he didn't have any weapons, but his security did. During the search, the cop found a loaded Hellcat 9mm in the guard's bag, and also a loaded Glock 9mm on the rear passenger seat.
All 3 people ... Boosie, his guard and driver were taken into custody, and cops say they heard Boosie yell at the guard, "You told me they were in the bag."
Once cops reviewed the IG footage, they matched up the Glock with the weapon in Boosie's waistband ... and that's why they busted him. Boosie was released from Louisiana State Prison in 2014 after serving more than 4 years for drug charges.
Shortly after his arrest Wednesday, Boosie fired off a tweet, apologizing to his kids. We've reached out to his camp, but no word back yet.

Big Lex called 911 after getting beat up by Joseline Hernandez -- but she wasn't seeking medical attention ... she was seeking justice, demanding for cops to arrest the perpetrator.
TMZ has obtained the dispatch audio capturing BL's emergency call Sunday night -- this after she'd taken a brutal beating at the hands of Joseline backstage during Floyd Mayweather's exhibition fight -- and it sounds like she had one thing in mind ... pressing charges.
Take a listen for yourself ... you hear Lex talking to the operator, who's asking her all the standard questions -- and she sounds relatively calm, cool and collected about it all.
She gives all the proper info, but when the dispatcher asks if she needs medical personnel for any injuries -- Lex actually says no. Instead, she says she just needs cops on hand ... 'cause she says she only wants to file a police report -- obviously in hopes of an arrest.
Joseline Hernandez Beats Up Big Lex Backstage at Mayweather Fight
Lex says she's waiting at a nearby gas station and is standing by to give officers all the pertinent details. Clearly, she gave them what they needed to ultimately throw on handcuffs.
As we reported ... Joseline was hauled off to jail and booked on battery and trespassing charges. Her mug shot certainly makes it seem like she'd been through one wild night.
Of course, this whole incident was caught on camera ... and you can clearly see Joseline raining blows on Big Lex, while also having her in a headlock. The violent altercation ended up leaving Lex partially unclothed ... and it took a little while before they were separated.
Lex wasn't the only person Joseline was swinging on, BTW -- there's tons of footage of her attempting to attack other people that night, including grown men. Unclear what exactly precipitated all the drama ... but it ended the way Lex wanted, with JH behind bars.
