Cold-cocked judge becomes latest victim of senseless NYC violence

Criminal court Judge Phyllis Chu, 56, had just gotten off the Staten Island Ferry and was headed to her job at the downtown courthouse at 100 Centre St. around 9:40 a.m. when she was suddenly slugged in the jaw by a male cyclist at the corner of Wall and Water streets.

With no words exchanged, a bicyclist riding in the opposite direction as the one she was walking in just punched her in the face and kept going, Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the city s Office of Court Administration, told The Post.

The judge called the cops, and then canvassed the area with responding officers hunting for her attacker, to no avail, the courts rep said.
