The sex fiend freed without bail after allegedly sucker-punching a stranger into a coma was arrested Friday on a parole violation — with Gov. Kathy Hochul claiming credit despite her refusal to roll back the state’s controversial bail-reform law.

Van Phu Bui, 55, was taken into custody after outrage sparked hours earlier by The Post’s front-page coverage of his release.

“Great! Now we just need an individual @nypost cover story, for every single violent crime, to persuade @GovKathyHochul to do her job,” Twitter user @patrickgrheaume wrote after Bui was apprehended.

The NYPD had charged Bui with attempted murder, but Bronx prosecutors downgraded the rap to misdemeanor assault and harassment, no-bail violations, leading to his release Thursday.

“But I took action in my own hands,” Hochul boasted — taking a victory lap amid widespread criticism that she hasn’t done enough to correct mistakes in the 2019 bail-reform statute and her recent refusal to grant Mayor Eric Adams’ request to convene a related special session of the Legislature amid surging Big Apple crime.

“I directed the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to immediately examine whether or not this parole violation occurred,” Hochul said. “Yes, it did. You could tell it occurred.

“This is a person on lifetime parole, and as of minutes ago, that person is now in custody. That is at my direction,” she said.
