‘Knockout’ suspect bizarrely claims self-defense and says he attacked one Brooklyn woman because he was ‘feeling ill’: court papers
Barry Baldwin, 35, pleaded not guilty to the six assaults he allegedly committed in November and December. He said he was acting in self-defense and offered a host of other weird excuses, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

Barry Baldwin is charged with a string of assaults that some called related to the “Knockout game.”

A Brooklyn man charged with a string of assaults on women — including a 78-year-old — that some connected to the violent “knockout game” bizarrely claimed self-defense in all the attacks, according to court documents released Wednesday.

Barry Baldwin, 35, pleaded not guilty to six attacks last November and December in which he allegedly punched random passers-by, five of them Jewish females.

He said he was acting in self-defense when confessing to detectives,

He described an alleged Dec. 7 assault on a 20-year-old as “a love tap” and said “he had to swat her off because she was too close to him.”

On the Dec. 27 attack on his final alleged victim, who was on her cell phone, he said: “I hit her on the head in self-defense because of the way she looked.” Excusing other incidents, he rambled, “because I was feeling ill” and “because of things that were happening around me.”

Most of the victims — whose ages range from 20 to 78-years-old
