Callous assailant busted for knocking out NYC woman, 81, in sucker-punch attack



A callous attacker was busted Thursday for knocking out an 81-year-old woman in a random sucker-punch assault on the Upper West Side last month, cops said. 

Hansel Esparragoza, 37 – a Staten Island resident with 21 prior arrests – was charged with felony assault in the Sept. 13 caught-on-video attack on Geula Freeman at West 66th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, authorities said. 

Esparragoza sported scruffy facial hair and was wearing a light green T-shirt, black sweat pants and rubber slide-on shoes when detectives led the handcuffed suspect out of the front door of the 20th Precinct and into a waiting cop car Thursday.
