A Florida man was under arrest after assaulting customers in a guitar store and knocking over a display. His alleged rampage ended when he turned on the wrong guy: Elmo. The encounter ended with the man sustaining bruises and broken fingers after a beat down by the costumed character.
The store had hired an Elmo impersonator for an event with children, but the character turned out to work as well as a bouncer.
The Winter Park police said in a deadpan statement that “[t]he suspect in this case suffered broken fingers and was taken to the hospital where he would receive treatment for his injuries and undergo a mental evaluation. The man dressed as Elmo was the victim in this incident and was not injured.”

I want to see a video of this.
Elmo knows the street …
I suppose with broken fingers he can’t be picking and grinning…..
WWED…..Beat the crap out of ya…..Don’t Fuck With ELMO….
There is a reason that costumed characters at theme parks always have a ‘handler’ with them. Beside having limited viability in many of the get ups they occasionally get assaulted by people. Why that is has always been a mystery to me but it happens. Glad this guy was able to take care of it himself & not get hurt.
