Entitled to violence

Man charged with sucker-punching traffic agent


The man who sucker-punched a traffic agent on Staten Island was angry because the worker had issued his girlfriend a ticket, authorities said Friday.
Divon D. Cochrane, 27, turned himself in and was charged late Thursday night with assault and harassment for attacking the uniformed traffic agent in Port Richmond on Wednesday around 3 p.m., police said.
Police say Cochrane sought out the 50-year-old victim in retaliation after he issued the man’s girlfriend a traffic summons.
Cochrane is shown following the 50-year-old victim as he crosses the street. The crazed man then ends the call, creeps up behind his target and punches him in the neck.
The traffic agent fell to the ground and lost consciousness, officials said. He was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital North, where he was treated for a head injury and bruising to the neck.
