(New York)  A nicotine fiend knocked out a total stranger on a Brooklyn street because he was angry that nobody would give him a cigarette — and then he did a victory dance because he “felt exhilarated,” police sources told The Post.
Michael Grant, 27, was trying to score the smoke on New Lots Avenue and Ashford Street at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, but lost his cool when he was turned down numerous times, he told cops.
He walked up to Pam Thompson, 41, as she was coming out of AA Nail Salon and clocked her square in the face, cops said. Her head slammed into the window, knocking her out cold.
The brute celebrated his sucker punch with a dance next to the injured woman’s body. He later told police, “I just felt exhilarated.”
Thompson, 41, was stunned by the cowardly attack.
“I don’t know him. I never saw him before in my life,” she said. “I have no idea why [he did this]. He just attacked me for no reason. He punched me and that was all I saw. Out of nowhere!”
The victim’s distraught daughter, Shanaya Thompson, was also horrified.
“He never stopped to take her money or wallet or anything. He just ran down the block a little did a dance and kept on running,” she added.  (continue reading)
