It finally happened, after several close calls I was involved in a scuffle today...lol.
I was in the middle of a haircut when one of the other barbers noticed there was a fight brewing in front of the shop. 2 cars arguing over a parking spot. I walked to the door to watch when it escalated. By the time I could see what was happening a woman was getting out of the passenger side to help the 1st person who had been knocked down in front of the car and was about to get punched in the face, again.
In the action, I thought the person that was about to get hit was a woman. So to me it looked like a man was about to hit a woman for at least a 2nd time. I went into auto pilot and in a dead sprint trucked the dude in the chest like I was Lawrence Taylor. Boom! Off his feet, in the air, then flat on his back with a resounding "Oh!" from the crowd. After a few seconds he got up like he wanted to fight, then fell back down.
Funny part it wasn't a woman on the ground, lol. Just the girly looking brother of the woman in the car. And the guy I flattened was on his way to an appointment at our shop.
