'Jersey Shore' thug is NYC gym teacher
The drunken lout seen sucker-punching a "Jersey Shore" hottie in a video clip gone viral is a New York City public school teacher, The Post has learned.
And the sudden right cross seen across the Internet has earned Queens gym teacher Brad Ferro a technical knockout — he’s been moved out of class and into one of the Department of Education’s teacher reassignment centers, also known as a "rubber room," agency officials confirmed.

Ferro, 24, of Deer Park, LI, was arrested in late August for punching out Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi at the Beachcomber Bar & Grill in Seaside Heights, according to local police.
The brutish smackdown was featured in a video clip promoting MTV’s edgy new reality show "Jersey Shore," on which Polizzi is featured.
Ferro, a gym teacher at North Queens Community HS, was initially told to lay off the booze by bouncers at the popular resort bar because he seemed too drunk, Seaside Heights Det. Steve Korman told The Post.
Ferro managed to stay inside the bar and eventually swiped booze belonging to Snooki and her entourage that had been placed on the bar top.
"That started a verbal altercation after which he struck her in the face," said Korman. "She sustained an injury to the inside of her mouth due to the punch."
In fact, the video shows Ferro suddenly walloping Snooki in the jaw — sending the 21-year-old beauty’s head reeling backward.
"Maybe he had a little too much to drink, but hitting a woman is a bit much," said Jinny Tanawots, a neighbor of the Ferro family "There’s got to be a different way around it — I don’t care what she did."
Ferro was arrested on charges of assault and disorderly conduct shortly after 2 a.m. on Aug. 19
Education Dept. officials said they hadn’t been informed about his arrest earlier because it occurred out of state.
Ferro has been teaching at the Middle Village school — a transfer school for students who have struggled elsewhere — since September 2008.
He earned his certification as a gym teacher from the state that same month. He has also taught as a substitute teacher in Deer Park.
Ferro could not immediately be reached for comment, and Polizzi did not return a message left at her upstate Marlboro, NY home.
"Jersey Shore," which debuted last week, has been taking heat from Italian-American groups who are enraged about its negative stereotyping of Italian youth as bimbos and buffoons.
The clip of the barroom beating — which was posted online as a preview of the hormone-driven, skin-flashing show — has already drawn condemnation, both for Ferro’s behavior and for its portrayal of violence against women.
