A lawyer for the woman slugged in the face by a burly Jets fan at MetLife Stadium called the hulking ex-con who hit her a coward.
Joseph Cataldo, attorney for New England Patriots fan Jaclyn Nugent, said his petite client was pounced on numerous times by Kurt Paschke in the slugfest, which was caught on video.
“That’s a cowardly act for a man of his size to punch a female,” Cataldo told The Post Wednesday. “For somebody of his size to wind up and clock her the way he did, I think that’s a fair statement.”
Both Nugent and Paschke were charged with assault in the melee Sunday after the Jets’ 30-27 overtime win against the Pats.
Paschke’s lawyer said that name-calling was not going to further anyone’s interest in the case.
“Her gender and size does not excuse her misconduct,” said the attorney, Bruce Barket.
Two other Patriots fans were charged in the battle royal, which left one of Paschke’s friends with a concussion.
A law-enforcement source told The Post that the Patriots fans were the aggressors.
