The comedian - who created the fake sexist and racist Kazakhstan reporter
Borat - approached a man in New York and said: "I like your clothes. Are
nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it."
The man didn't find his comments funny and punched Cohen in the face.
Cohen cried out for help, but his pleas were ignored and he was repeatedly
hit.
Fellow British actor Hugh Laurie finally rushed to Cohen's aid, managing to
push the man away and drag the comedian to his feet.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Sacha couldn't resist playing
the fool as Borat, but he picked the wrong person. I guess this guy thought
he was being attacked by someone unstable and lashed out. Sacha is very
lucky he didn't get a much worse beating."
The incident happened after Cohen and Laurie appeared on US TV show
'Saturday Night Live'.
Cohen was not seriously injured.
Film bosses are pleading with Cohen, 35, to stop posing as Borat on US
streets to avoid further violent attacks.
Cohen's new movie, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit
Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan', is tipped to become the highest grossing
comedy of all time.
It was revealed last week that Cohen is being sued for "being a prankster".
Two anonymous US students, who appear in the 'Borat' movie, have filed a
lawsuit against the comedian for allegedly getting them drunk before asking
them to sign a legal agreement permitting footage of them to be used in the
film.
They claim they have suffered humiliation and mental distress and are
seeking financial damages in excess of $25,000.

I can’t believe the ignorance of some people. Actually, I can. People have no tact. Just fucking walk away if someone upsets you. But New Yorkers don’t understand that concept.
LMAO! that shit is hilarious…hey, it’s true what they say “comedy hurts!”
i say it’s fine for him to take a beating if he’s going to make other people uncomfortable for a living. he’s being well compensated financially for his trouble. i wonder if they got that shit on tape…if so i wanna see it on YouTube ASAP!
i don`t find Borat funny at all…i love comedy ..i`m not a prude or anything but he is not funny ..he`s bitter and he tries too hard…i`m so glad somebody punched the shit out of him
See, I just said in a previous comment that I would b*tchslap his @ss if I ever saw him just for him being so stupid and someone else did it for me…......LOL. Except that this dude knocked the sh*t outta him!!!! I think this is so funny. He deserved it. Had it coming.
LOL…..............He is irritating as hell!!!
i luv borat’s humor but i’m also glad to see someone FINALLY didn’t play into his game. took long enough. afterall, the only reason he’s funny is because the people he talks to actually “play along” with him…
I think he is funny and loved his movie. Some of it was a bit out of line but no worse than South Park or Jack Ass. I’m glad he is having great success with this movie.
Ha! Love this thread! I think Borat is retarded and about as funny as a pie in the face. I hope he cried. I hope he swung him from a tree by his neon green leotard.
And i think he’s funny but some things you just can’t say to people. And why would that guy risk getting arrested for assault or something when he could’ve walked away? Dumb ass
Lmao….. It’d be awesome if a woman beat him up for calling us all ‘prostitutes’ lmao.
I"m surprised he’s had success in America, I didn’t think they’d.. get it, much like this guy that hit him.
Sacha’s comedy - for all the “in-your-face” vulgarity - is actually discreet. If you’re laughing, then you find yourself thinking about WHY you’re laughing; WHY it’s funny. Many just don’t get it. He holds up a mirror on society, and many want the “mirror, mirror on the wall” to tell them what they want to hear; to hide the flaws and erase the blemishes. They may not like Sacha’s “mirror.”
