Police are increasing patrols at a convenience store where a 70 year-old man was sucker punched in the face. The QuickTrip store located across the street from Owasso High School was the site of a fight that went viral with over a million views since posting.
When officers arrived at the scene, about 50 people were gathered in the store’s parking lot, as well as inside the store.
Police say Owasso High School students can be seen throwing punches at each other in the video posted below before a man (identified as a retired police officer) steps into the frame. The victim separates the two students before being surrounded and assaulted.
KOTV in Tulsa identified the retired officer as Gary Stephenson of the Tulsa Police Department.
The station reported that Stephenson went to the QuikTrip with his grandson and tried to break up the fight because he didn’t want to see anyone get hurt.
