The game, called "Knockout" or "The One-Hitter Quitter" is gaining traction on the East Coast, CBS Washington reports. In the game, students prey upon unsuspecting individuals, walk up to them, and try to knock them to the ground with one punch.



Teens in New Jersey said the game is a popular form of braggadocio that many consider fun.
