As always, the media gives no description of the perps.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) —  An Oakland man says he was brutally attack while riding aboard an AC transit bus Wednesday night.  Anthony Lindsey says the attack happened when the bus came to a stop on First Avenue near Lake Merritt.

Lindsey tells KTVU he believes he was a victim of the Knockout Game.  He says his attacker hit him for no reason and didn’t seem to be out to rob him.

“It was clear since he wanted nothing of mine. Nothing that I owned that’s what it felt like. It felt like I was trying to be knocked out,” Lindsey said.

Officials say the so-called game involves punching an unsuspected victim, so hard that they’ll be knocked out. The dangerous game has been in national headlines several times recently.  Some are calling it an epidemic while others say it’s not real.

In Lindsey’s case he was hit at least seven times before his attacker ran away.

“There was like three (punches) I took to the jaw, and I can’t believe my teeth are not loose,” the victim tells KTVU.
