A Minnesota man dubbed the “St. Paul Slapper” has been charged following a spate of random assaults over the past two months including a bizarre thrift store incident in which a man was punched and then nearly struck with a metal pipe.

Justin K. Kaneakua, 38, earned the moniker “St. Paul Slapper” after investigators linked him to a series of alleged assaults that fit a strange profile.
