Elmo in altercation and he was not tickled!

Who could not love that happy Sesame Street character ELMO?

According to the Associated Press the police in central Florida say a man dressed as ELMO was attacked this past Saturday afternoon at a music store in Winter Park, but he was able to fend off the attacker. The costumed man had been hired to perform as ELMO at a children's event at Guitar Center, but police say the attacker began throwing punches at ELMO. The performer fought back, even breaking a few fingers on his attacker's hand (no children saw it, if that's what you're wondering). Police haven't released the names of either man. Officers broke up the fight and took the attacker to the hospital, where he was treated and detained for a - all together now, people - mental health evaluation.

Elmo HOT!, Attacker NOT!

Come on folks, he is a Sesame Street character, What did he do to deserve being punched? Laugh to loud?
