This is a trope where someone attacks the victim through the POV of that victim. It gives the illusion to viewers of what it's like to actually get PUNCHED IN THE FACE! Ouch!
Similar to Camera Abuse, except for the fact that there's not supposed to be any camera - the attack is just viewed through the victim's face. Many cases are represented by a Hit Flash of some sort at the point of impact, but there are a few exceptions, like the use of a Smash to Black in live-action uses of this trope. It may also result in an Impairment Shot if the P.O.V. Cam stays where it is after the hit.
While sometimes this is purely for stylistic reasons, other times it's a form of censorship in action shows directed at younger audiences because you never see the hit. A character punches the screen, cut to another character flying across the room, but you never see the point of contact.
A Super-Trope to Shaky P.O.V. Cam. When the character dies, it's First-Person Dying Perspective.
See also Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You and The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You.
Can be a form of Gory Discretion Shot if the attack is particularly violent.

Several level-up animations in Legends of Runeterra are given from the perspective of someone encountering the champion, particularly Kindred firing an arrow directly into the camera, and the camera looking left to right in terror before Nocturne charges into the foreground. Nocturne's victim even screams!

In The Simpsons, in the episode "Husbands and Knives", a triple Second-Person Attack is made by Art Spiegelman, Daniel Clowes and Alan Moore, who all simultaneously punch Comic Book Guy when he was trying to destroy a rival comic book store that's ruining his business. "Worst Second-Person Attack ever."
The early episode "Bart the General" also shows Nelson punching Bart from his point of view once.
We see Dr. Hibbert's fist coming out a picture frame in the Treehouse of Horror segment "The Thing and I" but the actual connection to Hugo's face is shown in the third person.

In the Looney Tunes cartoon "My Little Duckaroo"", Daffy Duck gets punched in the face by Nasty Canasta.
Also occurs in the Bugs Bunny short "Rabbit Punch". While in a boxing match, Bugs hands a sling shot to his opponent and pulls back on the sling. He then puts a boulder in the sling and launches it into the opponent's face. We see the attack from the opponent's POV. The same effect happens to the bull in the short Bully for Bugs.
Also occurs twice in the cartoon "Homeless Hare" when Bugs Bunny drops a brick on the antagonist's head, and later, when he, himself gets whammed in the head by a large I-beam thrown by the antagonist, temporarily leaving Bugs dazed and confused.
In the Porky Pig cartoon "The Lone Stranger and Porky", the unseen narrator annoys the villain so much that he fires his guns at the camera, shooting the narrator to death.
In the beginning of the 1996 cartoon "From Hare to Eternity", Yosemite Sam becomes so annoyed by the unseen group of singers singing too much, that he takes a baton and throws it at the camera, striking the group with a "clang".

SWAT Kats:
In "Enter the Madkat", Razor and Commander Feral of all people (!) dual punch Lenny Ringtail this way after he's been returned to normal.
A fatal version happens to a guard in "Katastrophe". Dr. Viper's mushroom monster assistant reaches towards the viewer with one of his tentacles to convey his grabbing (and killing) the guard offscreen.
In "SWAT Kats Unplugged", Razor flying down and kicking Hard Drive in the face is conveyed this way, with Razor's feet whooshing in towards the viewer. One cut later, and he's standing atop Hard Drive's unconscious body holding the anti-weapon scrambler.
In "The Origin of Dr. Viper," Purvis, while stealing the Viper Mutagen, punches his employer Dr. Zyme in the face this way. We see Purvis' fist come towards the camera, then we cut to Zyme falling backwards down the stairs.
Done to a Puma-Dyne guard in "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats". This one is interesting in that the hand Evil!T-Bone punches him with is the one wearing his Glovatrix, and the evil SWAT Kats' Glovatrixes have spiked knuckles. This should've ended up being one of the show's more violent and painful knockouts, even with it being shown entirely from the victim''s P.O.V., but to tone it down, the spikes were removed for this one shot, and when the guard is shown later, he has no facial injuries consistent with getting spiked knuckles to the face.

Likely inspired by the Looney Tunes example below, an episode of Darkwing Duck has Darkwing tricking Negaduck into coming down an elevator, which Darkwing has attached a large rubber band to the entrance of. We switch to Neg's POV when Darkwing lets loose the anvil he had been holding in the slingshot.

DC Animated Universe:
Often done in Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Justice League.
Batman Beyond: In "Spellbound", Spellbinder has an electronic Magic Eye built into his glove's palm, and when Terry tries to chase him, he flashes the electronic eye and tricks him into believing he's diving off a waterfall when he's flying into the ground, before Bruce awakens him at the last second.

Happens in all three Modern Warfare games. In the first, you're given semi control of the original leader of a country as he's lead into an arena and executed. In the second, the character you control is shot by General Sheppard, tossed into a ditch, and burned, while still alive. In the third, in a mission where you control a Russian Secret Service Agent, you've almost gotten the President to safety when Makarov turns out to be inside the helicopter you were going to escape in, shoots you, and takes the President.

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie has a lengthy one at the end of Chun Li's fight with Vega, during which she kicks him repeatedly in the face for 7 seconds. About half of it is shown from Vega's POV and half of it from Chun-Li's, excluding the final blow when she shoves him through the wall by kicking him with both feet which cuts back to a 3rd person shot.

The Great Train Robbery (1903) can be considered the Ur-Example to this trope, as its last shot has director Edwin Porter, in a very early kind of cameo (not the leader of the outlaw band as was mainly believed), taking aim and firing point blank at the audience. The film is well known for the scene.

In The Legend of Zelda game Hyrule Warriors, a few of the characters' victory cutscenes do this. Notably:
Zelda's victory cutscene with the Rapier has her swinging it at an angle that, if the camera were a person, she would be aiming at his throat. The sword doesn't seem to actually hit, though, so there is that.
Wizzro has one of his shadow fish drool purple slime onto the camera, before he grabs the camera with his giant hand. The scene ends with him cackling as the camera struggles to escape.
Link's victory scene with the Magic Rod summons a giant fiery dragon (the same one from his special attack), which rushes the camera and engulfs it in flames.
Cia's victory scene has her order her Dark Link servants to attack the camera (or possible Lana), damaging it and causing everything to go white for a moment.
Linkle's victory scene with the Boots has her doing a few kicks in the air before almost doing one in front of the camera.
In the cinematic that plays when Sheik is encountered as an enemy in Adventure Mode, she's seen playing her harp in a tree, before throwing a Deku Nut and disappearing. The camera looks back and forth for her, only to have her rush into frame and threaten the camera's tripod mounting with a kunai.

Also occurs in the Bugs Bunny short "Rabbit Punch". While in a boxing match, Bugs hands a sling shot to his opponent and pulls back on the sling. He then puts a boulder in the sling and launches it into the opponent's face. We see the attack from the opponent's POV. The same effect happens to the bull in the short Bully for Bugs.

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "Pizza Delivery", when the fish ordering the Krusty Krab pizza refused to pay for the pizza because SpongeBob and Squidward forgot to bring him his soda, Squidward comes back at his door and shoves the pizza in the customer's face, "Well, this one's on the house!"
"Sandy's Rocket": This occurs twice, with SpongeBob and Patrick's use of the net guns to capture Mr. Krabs, then Sandy.
"The Two Faces of Squidward" involved SpongeBob slamming the door repeatedly on Squidward's face in order to restore his face to normal after he had a hard time being handsome. The trope doesn't apply at the end, however, when Mr. Krabs tried doing the same thing to him, only this time, to make him handsome again.

Doctor Who: In "Time and the Rani", the Rani drugs the newly-regenerated Seventh Doctor with a memory-impairing drug and dresses herself up as his companion, Mel, in order to dupe him into helping her with her latest scheme. On several occasions, the drug's effects are represented by first-person shots where the Doctor sees the Rani's face morph into Mel's; when the drug starts wearing off, he sees the opposite. The camera cuts to his reaction immediately before returning to his viewpoint as the Rani slaps him to the floor to get the drug working again.

At the end of the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode, "Who Let The Ed In?", Eddy hits Ed with an invisible potato in an invisible slingshot.
This trope also occurs in the Valentine's Day special when Kevin tosses the end of the gym rope towards Eddy, and it hits him in the face.
In the episode, "The Good, The Bad, and the Ed", Rolf challenges Eddy to a series of dangerous challenges. One of the challenges involved Eddy and Rolf getting giant boulders smashed against themselves in a giant Newton's Cradle. At the start of that challenge, Eddy's POV shows Ed tossing one of the boulders, smashing him hard.
In the episode "Who, What, Where, Ed!" after Ed accidentally breaks all the eggs from the fridge and offers Eddy a bite from his popsicle from, the camera shifts to his POV as Eddy says "Hold that thought", and whacks him in the face with the frying pan he was planning on cooking omelettes in. The whack covers the whole screen black with no Hit Flash.

The Three Stooges did a 3-D short where Moe's eye pokes, etc. were aimed at the camera for a full immersive stooge experience.

Matt Murdock's father is killed this way at the beginning of Daredevil. After being ambushed in an alley by some of Fallon's Mooks, one of them, half-hidden in shadow (later revealed to be Kingpin), is shown from his P.O.V. and punches down towards the camera.

In a cut away gag on Family Guy has Lois talking about how easily Peter gets jealous when he thinks guys are hitting on her. The flashback occurs during a concert from the singer's POV, when he says that their next song is dedicated to all the ladies in the audience. Cue Peter emerging from the back row and running all the way up to the stage to knock him out.

Star Trek: Voyager does this a couple of times by varying methods:
"The Fight", The Boxing Episode in the fifth season, ends with Chakotay throwing a punch at the camera while training on the holodeck.
Earlier, "Hope and Fear", the fourth season finale, Bookends the episode with Janeway and Seven playing a game called Velocity on Voyager's holodeck (sending a holographic disc at each other using phaser fire). The episode, and thus the season, closes on a Smash to Black when the disc moves towards the camera's point of view and Seven fires on it.

How I Met Your Mother, where after Marshall and Barney suspect that The Captain took Lily to his house in the middle of the night after she left the Barney-Robin wedding hotel following a fight between her and the former, they promptly head to his beach house. Cue the doorbell ringing, The Captain answering it, and him receiving a prompt punch to the face in his POV from an angry Marshall, after which the screen goes black and he grunts.

In Lou Ferrigno's film Hercules (1983) the title character was punching a bear multiple times through the POV of the animal, complete with ridiculous strobe Hit Flash effects.

At the end of the episode "Hoss Delgado: Spectral Exterminator", Hoss fights a werewolf. They jump up, and the camera pans, The Matrix-style, to (almost) the POV of the werewolf. Hoss fires his slime gun at the werewolf, filling the screen to a fade-to-black.

Teleroboxer is fought in first-person view (obviously, since it was released for Virtual Boy). When you get knocked out, the robot's view screen gets turned off like a television.

Transformers:
There were infamous scenes from episodes of Beast Wars: some have a single or double Second-Person Attack, plus the Impairment Shot of seeing double and falling over after the punch occurred. The double Second Person Attack is here, while the single one with an Impairment Shot is here.
In the Transformers: Prime episode, "Darkness Rising, Part 2", there's a POV shot of a Dark Energon-revived Cliffjumper charging at Megatron, who proceeds to slice him in two.

Subverted in the Dexter's Laboratory cartoon "Beard To Be Feared". Action Hank was about to punch an enemy through the POV of that enemy, and just when he was throwing the punch, it cuts to a TV showing the episode of Action Hank that Dexter was watching. Dexter was then shown wincing at the punch.
Played straight, however, in "Dexter Detention", when a bully Dexter was sitting next to in detention punches him in the face.
In the episode "A Mom Cartoon", Dexter's mom fights another woman at the supermarket for some new gloves. At one point, Mom punches and kicks the other woman multiple times through the POV of that woman.
In season 4's "Used Ink", Dee Dee punches Mandark in this way after he forced her into a lip-to-lip kiss with him.

The first season finale of Salute Your Shorts featured departing character, Michael, leaving to avoid a large and very aggressive bully. In the episode's climax, Michael decides to face the bully down. The camera switches to Michael's POV for the confrontation just before the bully delivers an anticlimactic One-Hit KO and the screen goes black.
