Brad Ferro, the Queens, New York gym teacher who shot from anonymity to infamy instantly when MTV teased (now excised) footage of him dropping a haymaker on a 4’9″ woman, has apologized. “I’ve learned my lesson: never again will I punch a woman on camera,” he said in an interview with the BBC World Service.
