Sushi chef sucker-punched unconscious leaving NYC subway stop in random broad-daylight attack: ‘Felt like a knife’

A deranged goon allegedly knocked out a sushi chef with a random sucker punch outside a Queens subway — leaving the victim barely able to eat and contemplating leaving the city.

“When I felt the hit, I felt like it was a knife or a hammer,” said Ferdianto Suwandi, 29, who was left bloodied and dazed after the violent ambush last week.

“Turned out that it was a sucker punch.”

The broad daylight attack unfolded Oct. 11 after Suwandi, who works in Manhattan, rolled up in a 7 train to Woodside Station not far from his home.

He said he ambled down the station’s stairs, checked his phone and got ready to cross the road at 61st Street and Roosevelt Avenue when an as-yet-unidentified man attacked him “out of nowhere.”
