Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was bashed by a passer-by in New York after he tried to play a prank as his alter ego, Borat.

According to London's Sun newspaper Cohen, adopting the character of Borat, the Kazakhstani TV reporter, approached the man and said: "I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it."

I snipped the text, please don't copy / paste entire articles from other websites

He prolly thought borat was a poof.

Either way, it was bound to happen, especially in the United States of a******s.

Yeh I'm surprised it hasn't happened already, even when he's properly in character and being followed by a cameraman

you dont mention how f***ing HOUSE MD came to his rescue. Hugh Luarie is the man.

About bloody time.

too lazy to edit

The comedian was struck again and again before being rescued by actor friend Hugh Laurie, who was accompanying Cohen to a New York bar.

A good enough reason to stop watching house.

I'm amazed more pranksters aren't beaten. Especially those idiots who scare people.

I also recommend checking out Borat's interview on Letterman.. the interview wasn't bad but what i found funny is later in the show Beck is on playing a new song. Borat comes out and starts dancing around and Beck nearly cracks up laughing mid song.

hows killed for u

maybe the guy punched him cuz all his jokes are the same

^ Pity it's a setup.
Be funnier if it had of been Borat that was shot. He's about as funny as seinfeld and that raymond spanker

i believe the guy really shoots that other guy in the postbox

i also believe everything that i see on the internets

The less things you find funny teh cooler you are.

Yeah especially since everyone has the same sense of humour.
