Bronx DA wants to upgrade charges for rapist who sucker-punched man

Prosecutors who downgraded charges against a convicted sex offender after her allegedly sucker punched a man in an unprovoked attack are now demanding they be upgraded.

Jesus Cortes, 52, was left with a fractured skull and a brain bleed after the attack by Van Phu Bui, 55, in the Bronx on August 12.

Bui was initially freed without bail by prosecutors who reduced his charges to a misdemeanour after the terrifying assault was caught on video.
