Fists fly during a typical night on MTV's 'Jersey Shore.' ;cast member Pauly D, for example, threw a punch at an unidentified club goer in last week's second episode.

But punching one of the gals, well, that's crossing the line. According to last night's preview, cast member Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was sucker-punched by a guy at the Beachcomber Bar and Grill in Seaside Heights. The guy, who has not been involved in the storyline so far, has been identified as Brad Ferro, a New York City public school gym teacher, according to the New York Post. He's been subsequently moved out of the classroom system's reassignment centers. He was also arrested after the altercation, which was shown in the teaser.

Before getting punched, Snooki made out with her friend, Ryder, and cast member Mike in the house's hot tub during last night's episode.

In other developments last night, Angelina left the house -- and the series, apparently -- to take care of problems with the man in her life, who is married, by the way. Also, castmates Sammi and Ronnie moved closer, then apart at the end of the episode.
