The NYPD 's investigation into the violent, unprovoked punching spree in Manhattan continues as a 33-year-old woman was punched in the face by a stranger in Union Square last month. Police say the suspect approached the woman, who was walking in front of 32 Union Square East on March 20, when her unknown assailant approached her from behind, punched her in the face with a closed fist, before fleeing northbound on Park Avenue, law enforcement authorities said.
