The word of the day is cold-cock:
to knock (a person) unconscious (U.S. slang). (OED)
"The guy with the hand is Lucas Filby. I was about to arrest him when he cold-cocked me. Next thing I know, I'm here."
- Didge, "Live Like Lazarus", The Unwritten Volume 8: Orpheus in the Underworld, Mike Carey and Peter Gross
