Man Loses Fight With Elmo

Police in Winter Park, Florida, said a man dressed as the “Sesame Street” character Elmo was physically attacked during a children’s event, but Elmo fought back. The Muppet-suited man, Jeramie Trespalacios, was performing Sunday at The Guitar Center when the attacker began throwing punches at him. Trespalacios, who was not injured, broke two of the attacker’s fingers, threw a few punches, and then tossed the man into a glass display case, head first. Officers were able to break up the fight before the kids saw what was going on. The attacker is undergoing a mental evaluation at a local hospital. Elmo was last seen headed down “Sesame Street.”
