Hockey stick-wielding maniac hits, threatens NY woman in latest random attack: ‘I’m going to f–k you up!’

A hockey stick-wielding madman whacked a woman in the East Village then seethed “I’m going to f–k you up!” the shaken victim said Thursday — vowing she’ll now carry Mace to ward off future creeps.
Finance worker Amber Nguyen was heading to her home in the area with pals on April 9 when a brute whacked her on East 6th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A around 10:30 p.m. — the latest random attack targeting women in the Big Apple.
“He whipped me with a hockey stick on the back of my thigh,” Nguyen told The Post Thursday.
“We just heard this loud whipping noise and he was just walking away with a hockey stick.”
The attacker — who police released surveillance footage of Wednesday — said nothing before preying upon her and then setting his sights on another unsuspecting woman nearby, according to Nguyen.
“We were talking and just in a group. It doesn’t matter if you are walking alone or in a group, anything can happen to you,” Nguyen said about the recent string of random attacks.
“You can be as cautious as possible and anything can happen to you.”
Nguyen was treated at the scene and left with a gnarly yellow and purple bruise.
Asked what she’ll do to protect herself in the city, she said: “Now I’m going to carry Mace with me, which I probably should have done in the beginning.”
