The suspect cut loose after allegedly socking a Big Apple woman in the face — breaking her jaw and knocking out several teeth — in a brazen daylight attack has a rap sheet of similar sucker-punch assaults to his name and a long history of mental illness, The Post has learned.
Franz Jeudy, 33, was nabbed after allegedly punching Brooklyn school bus aide, Dulche Pichardo, 57, in the face as she was walking home from work in Crown Heights on Tuesday evening, cops said.
Despite the victim’s severe injuries, Jeudy was set free by a Brooklyn judge on supervised release after the repeat offender was slapped with misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault, attempted assault and harassment — all non-bail-eligible offenses.
“This is terrible. I don’t want this to happen to anybody else,” a bruised and battered Pichardo told The Post on Friday.
“He’s not supposed to be free,” she added. “They know that he’s dangerous. You cannot have these people outside that are that dangerous.”

The alleged perp’s rap sheet includes prior arrests for two other random punch attacks — including one on a law enforcement officer and the other on a security guard, police sources said.
He was arrested for misdemeanor assault after he whacked a Department of Homeless Services officer in the face at the Manhattan Psychiatric Center located on Randall’s Island In July 2018, according to sources.
The officer had just finished his shift and was driving out of the parking lot when Jeudy swung at him through his window. The punch left the officer with bruising, a laceration to his left eye, cuts on his nose and a chipped tooth.
He was then hit with a third-degree assault charge again in January 2019 after socking a security guard in the face at the NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Medical Center, sources said.
The security guard, who was attacked after asking Jeudy to move, suffered cuts to his upper and lower lips.
