The beefy Queens, New York gym teacher who sucked-punched Jersey Shore star Snooki Polizzi is joining America’s unemployment masses.

Brad Ferro, 23, a instructer at North Queens Community High School in Flushing, was caught by MTV cameras socking the outspoken MTV reality personality in the face inside a Seaside Heights, NJ bar on Aug. 19. MTV showed clips of the punch in promos for the show, but later pulled the footage from the episode, calling it “extremely disturbing.” Ferro was charged with simple assault and later apologized for the assault, but a Department of Education spokeswoman said Tuesday that Ferro’s firing is just around the corner.
“The department is in the process of taking termination action,” the spokeswoman said.
